MIDASEC02-BP03 Use centralized access management tools
Consolidate identity and access management using centralized tools to streamline permission handling and improve visibility across multi-site operations.
Desired outcome: Reduced access complexity and improved governance across distributed industrial environments.
Benefits of establishing this best practice: Simplifies identity lifecycle management, supports consistent policy application, and enables centralized logging.
Level of risk exposed if this best practice is not established: Medium
