UC-ACCESS-02 — Review user access rights periodically
All user and privileged access rights are reviewed at least annually, and more frequently for high-risk systems, by system or data owners who confirm each entitlement remains limited to business need. Unnecessary accounts and excess privileges identified in reviews are disabled or removed within a defined SLA. Completed reviews and remediation evidence are retained.
