This requirement reduces risk in cloud identity and access management by ensuring privileged access management is defined, consistently implemented and demonstrably effective across cloud environments. It supports the organization's need to secure cloud-based assets, data and services while managing cloud-specific risk.
Implement documented controls for privileged access management within identity lifecycle, authentication, authorization, privileged access and federation. Define scope, ownership, required evidence, monitoring, review cadence and escalation criteria; automate validation where practical.
