Document background
The User Access Review Policy is essential for organizations operating in India to maintain robust information security controls and comply with local regulatory requirements. This document becomes necessary when organizations need to establish systematic procedures for reviewing and managing user access rights across their systems and applications. It is particularly relevant in the context of India's evolving digital landscape and regulatory framework, including compliance with the IT Act 2000, DPDP Act 2023, and various sector-specific regulations. The policy should be implemented when organizations need to demonstrate due diligence in access management, prevent unauthorized access, and maintain audit trails of access reviews. It typically includes detailed procedures, responsibilities, review frequencies, documentation requirements, and compliance reporting mechanisms tailored to Indian legal requirements.
