How should businesses handle IT access when an employee leaves?

User offboarding is one of the most commonly mishandled processes in small business environments. Best practice requires revoking all access on the employee’s last day, ideally at the moment of separation. This includes disabling the account, transferring data ownership, revoking MFA devices and removing the user from any shared credentials or privileged accounts. G6 manages this process as part of our user access management service with documented offboarding checklists and same-day execution.
