How to Review Security Before Enabling Remote Access for a New Employee

Remote access can be needed on a first day, but enabling it before device enrollment, identity proofing, or role approval may expose business systems. Managers and IT may assume the other has completed setup.

What to check

Confirm employee identity and start date, device compliance, MFA enrollment, approved role, VPN or zero-trust policy, and access owner. Check whether access is limited to the systems required for the job.

Recommended next step

Use a documented onboarding sequence with least privilege, managed device checks, and named approvals. Review access after the employee settles into the role and revoke temporary exceptions.
