Just-In-Time Access Quarterly Check-In

Access was granted for a single task. The code ran. The door closed. No risk lingered. This is the promise of Just-In-Time Access, tightened by a Quarterly Check-In that keeps control sharp and current.

Just-In-Time Access (JIT) reduces exposure by giving credentials only when needed, for exactly as long as needed. It cuts standing permissions and strips away attack surfaces. But JIT alone is static unless paired with routine validation. That’s where the Quarterly Check-In comes in. Every three months, you review every access grant, every permission scope, and every role escalation. Accounts without active necessity get shut down. Temporary rights don’t linger past their expiry.

Security drift is real. Teams change, systems expand, roles morph. Without a quarterly audit of JIT policies, expired access can pile up unseen. A structured check-in forces visibility. It ensures documented approval for each privileged action, aligns access flow with least-privilege principles, and catches bad patterns before they become breaches.

To run an effective Just-In-Time Access Quarterly Check-In:

• Pull logs for all JIT grants in the past quarter.
• Map each grant to a valid business justification.
• Revoke any access that has no ongoing requirement.
• Update automation scripts to enforce expiry.
• Confirm alerting on failed revocations.

This process is not optional. It is the maintenance cycle that keeps Just-In-Time Access trustworthy and lean. Without it, JIT devolves into time-limited but stale permissions. With it, you keep the system clean, auditable, and fast to respond under pressure.
