What does the Security Access Rights Second Edition include?
The product delivers a 60+ file digital playbook: approximately 30-40 XLSX spreadsheets (models, calculators, dashboards), 20-30 PDF guides (runbooks, briefings, reference cards), a Platinum Tier section with master playbook, adoption roadmap, implementation template, anti-pattern catalogue, outcomes dashboard and incident response runbook, plus all supporting sections from Getting Started to Advanced Topics, delivered by email within 24 business hours.
Are you still managing access controls with ad-hoc spreadsheets and guesswork? Without a proven framework you expose your organisation to privilege creep, audit failures, regulatory fines and lost contracts. The Security Access Rights Second Edition self-assessment eliminates that risk the moment you download the playbook - you gain a complete, standards-aligned methodology that lets you evaluate, benchmark and harden every access right in under 30 minutes.
