Moderate

>Control Description

(a) Review organization-defined frequency the privileges assigned to organization-defined roles or classes of users to validate the need for such privileges; and (b) Reassign or remove privileges, if necessary, to correctly reflect organizational mission and business needs.

>Discussion

The need for certain assigned user privileges may change over time to reflect changes in organizational mission and business functions, environments of operation, technologies, or threats. A periodic review of assigned user privileges is necessary to determine if the rationale for assigning such privileges remains valid. If the need cannot be revalidated, organizations take appropriate corrective actions.
