Auditing access controls for SOC 2 compliance involves mapping authorization models like RBAC across your stack, validating provisioning and deprovisioning, and verifying MFA enforcement to produce audit-ready evidence aligned with SOC 2 CC6 controls.

To identify privilege creep during user offboarding, perform an end-to-end access audit covering applications, infrastructure, and service accounts to detect misconfigurations, enforce least privilege, and validate proper deprovisioning of role changes.

You can enforce least privilege and MFA across service accounts and applications by applying RBAC and ABAC authorization models, validating service account ownership, and verifying MFA enforcement during comprehensive access audits.

To map RBAC and ABAC authorization models for a compliance audit, enumerate roles across applications and infrastructure, validate policy-based access controls, and align findings with HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and SOC 2 requirements to support auditors.

The access audit process covers break-glass procedures and service account ownership by validating their configuration and mapping them to least privilege policies, producing auditable evidence for compliance programs like HIPAA and PCI-DSS.
