Access Audits
The ITS Data Center Operations team performs quarterly audits. This audit includes sending a list of approved staff with Data Center access to the Authorized Approver List for their review. Authorized Approvers are expected to submit changes within 5 business days for individuals who should no longer have Data Center access.
Removal of Access
Changes in role responsibilities or employment for staff members approved to access ITS Data Centers should be submitted immediately.
Staff members who do not use their Data Center access for more than 365 days will have their access deactivated. Notices of deactivation for non-use will be sent to authorized approvers quarterly. Authorized approvers should advise staff to use their access card within 30 days or the card will be deactivated automatically. Card reactivation requires a reapplication process.
