Knowledge Base & Operational DocumentationHow to Set Safe Temporary Access for an External Auditor
Auditors may need evidence from business systems, but permanent accounts or broad shared credentials make access difficult to control and review. A tight deadline can lead teams to grant more access than the review requires.
What to check
List the specific evidence and systems needed, identify an internal sponsor, confirm the auditor’s identity and engagement dates, and determine whether read-only exports can meet the requirement. Review data sensitivity and contractual handling rules.
Recommended next step
Create an individually assigned, time-limited account with least privilege and logging, then remove access promptly at the end of the engagement. Record evidence shared and have a system owner verify revocation.
