Access Lifecycle

> Portability: 3 stdlib scripts, no network, no IdP or HR connection. Export CSV, run, keep the output as evidence.

> Not audit advice. Periods and thresholds are your policy; the scripts make you state them.

Access reviews fail audits in four ordinary ways: the review ran on an incomplete

export, someone approved their own access, a revoke was decided and never

carried out, and leavers kept working accounts nobody looked at. Each script

catches one class of these before the auditor does.

Workflow

# 1 - Diff: who has access that the HR roster says they should not?
python scripts/access_diff.py --roster hr_roster.csv --accounts accounts.csv \
  --inactive-days 90 --privileged-review-days 90 --as-of 2026-10-31
# 2 - Campaign: did the review cover everything, and did the revokes happen?
python scripts/access_review_campaign.py --decisions campaign.csv --population accounts.csv \
  --remediation-days 10 --close-date 2026-10-20
# 3 - Map: which controls do the exceptions break, and what evidence do you keep?
python scripts/control_evidence_mapper.py --diff diff.json --campaign campaign.json --framework soc2,iso27001

Step 1 joins each account to the roster on employee ID, then email. A

terminated person with an enabled account is a blocker; one who logged in after

their exit date is a worse one. Accounts that match nobody are orphans; service

accounts need a named owner. Inactivity and privileged-review age use your periods.

Step 2 checks the campaign against the export it was built from. An enabled

account missing from the campaign means the review did not cover the population,

whatever the sign-off sheet says. It also catches undecided lines, self-review,

revokes not removed inside your window, late decisions, and a reviewer who kept

every line of a large batch at machine speed.

Step 3 turns findings into a per-control table: FAIL, EXCEPTIONS,

NO_EXCEPTIONS, PARTLY_TESTED, NOT_TESTED or NOT_COVERED, each with what an

auditor tests and the evidence to keep. There is no PASS.

The gates block on (exit 4)

1. A leaver with an enabled account, or any login after the exit date.

2. A privileged orphan account, or a privileged service account with no owner.

3. An enabled account the campaign never reviewed.

4. An undecided line, a self-review, or a decision with no reviewer named.

5. A revoke or modify with no removal recorded past your remediation window.

Hard rules

• Periods are policy. --inactive-days and --remediation-days have no default. PCI DSS 8.2.6 says 90 days; your policy may differ.
• Prove removals by re-export. A closed ticket is not evidence the access is gone.
• The export is evidence too. Keep the query, the pull time and the row count (PCAOB AS 1105.10).
• A rubber-stamp flag is a signal, not proof. Ask the reviewer what they checked; do not call it fraud.
• No PASS from a script. Operating effectiveness is the auditor's conclusion.

Scripts

| Script | Role | Exit codes |

|---|---|---|

| scripts/access_diff.py | Roster vs account export: leavers, orphans, ownerless service accounts, movers, privileged review age, inactivity | 0 clean · 2 findings · 3 bad input · 4 blocked |

| scripts/access_review_campaign.py | Population coverage, undecided, self-review, unremoved revokes, late decisions, rubber-stamp signal | 0 · 2 · 3 · 4 incomplete |

| scripts/control_evidence_mapper.py | Findings → per-control status for ISO 27001, SOC 2, NIST 800-53, PCI DSS, HIPAA, SOX IPE | 0 · 2 exceptions · 3 · 4 fail |

All support --help, --sample and --output json.
