How to Review Cybersecurity Risks Before Giving a Vendor Remote Admin Access

Remote vendor administration can create broad access that persists beyond maintenance work.

Checks to make

Use named accounts, MFA, time-bound and least-privilege access, session logging, and an approved change window. Confirm the access owner and revocation process, then review activity after the work is completed.
