Immediately restrict access to sensitive data when employees give notice or are terminated

Implement the principle of least privilege - employees should only access what they need for their role
3
Monitor unusual data access patterns and large file transfers, especially from departing employees
4
Conduct exit interviews and remind employees of confidentiality obligations and legal consequences
5
Use automated offboarding processes that revoke credentials across all systems simultaneously
