Audit Playbook: Continuous Application Inventory Reporting
Purpose
Auditors require verifiable proof of who accessed what, when, and why across all applications subject to compliance mandates.
Traditional IAM/IGA tools cover only managed apps, leaving unmanaged, on-prem, and shadow applications invisible. Orchid uniquely discovers in-scope applications, evaluates their identity controls, and generates continuous, compliance-mapped evidence.
Playbook
Phases
Preparation
- Define audit scope & frameworks (PCI, HIPAA, ISO, NIS2, FedRAMP)
- Enable continuous discovery of managed & unmanaged applications
- Establish baseline dashboards
- Assign ownership roles (Compliance, IAM, Orchid Admin)
Application Inventory
- Managed apps via IAM/IGA
- Unmanaged apps with Orchid
- Compliance-subject apps flagged
- Identity controls (MFA, lockout, password policies, sessions)
- Gap analysis to compliance requirements
Identity Lifecycle
- Track joiner, mover, and leaver events
- Timely deprovisioning of accounts
- Access requests & approvals with timestamps
Authentication Events
- Map successful logins to user & application
- Track failed login attempts with thresholds
- Record logouts and session terminations
Access Governance
- Enforce least-privilege access
- Log privilege elevation events
- Provide separation-of-duties evidence
Overlay Insights
- Detect orphan accounts
- Identify unmanaged local accounts
- Flag shadow and stale applications
- Highlight highly privileged & over-provisioned users
- Monitor high-risk activity patterns
Audit-Ready Outputs
- Up-to-date application inventory
- Continuous evidence exports
- Unified identity audit logs
- Compliance-based gap analysis reports
- Real-time dashboards for auditors
Employee Performance Review 2023
This report outlines the performance review process for employees in 2023. It aims to provide a structured approach to evaluate employee contributions and identify areas for development.
Review Process
All employees underwent a comprehensive review, which included self-assessments and manager evaluations. The key performance indicators (KPIs) focused on:
- Productivity
- Team Collaboration
- Innovation
Feedback from the reviews will be used to inform training and development programs for the upcoming year.
Quick Checklist
Scope, baselines and owners.- Complete application inventory (managed + unmanaged).
- Identity lifecycle records (joiner, mover, leaver).
- Authentication logs (success, failure, session termination).
- Access governance evidence (least privilege, SoD, privilege elevation).
- Overlay risk exposure tracked (orphan, local, shadow, stale accounts).
- Dashboards, reports and evidence prepared for auditor review.
