After several county separations, former employees' email and HRIS accounts stay active for weeks because HR closes the personnel file while IT waits for a separate ticket. The CHRO is aligning identity lifecycle to the data-protection strategy. What should the CHRO do?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Leaving a terminated badge live is like leaving the spare key under the mat after someone moves out. Closing the paper file is not the same as cutting system access. HR and IT have to share one offboarding clock so the security strategy actually fires.
Full Explanation
Access termination is an HR-security process, not an IT-only chore that starts when someone happens to open a ticket. Aligning HR offboarding to the organization's data-protection strategy means identity disablement is triggered by the employment event, with joint HR–IT ownership and timing. Courtesy notes, alumni grace periods, and self-service requests from former staff leave residual access that the strategy is supposed to prevent. The CHRO should design the identity lifecycle so accounts die with the appointment.
