This weekend, a quick but important security task: review who has access to what.
Quick audit:
✓ Any former employees still with active accounts?
✓ Does everyone's access match their current role?
✓ Any shared logins that shouldn't exist?
Least privilege = smart security.
15 minutes this weekend, better protected Monday.
Have a great weekend! 🌟
