Security

Security is how hard the front door is: sign-in, sessions and second factors, the quarantine, and the sign-in history kept against each account.

Before you start

  • A position on second factors. "Optional" means "off" for most of an organisation.

What Security does

The settings that decide how hard the front door is.

01

Set security settings and quarantine

The settings are the policy; quarantine is what happens to things that fail it.

02

Give HR account security without credentials

HR can see the security state of an account — whether it is locked, whether a factor is set — without being exposed to credentials. That is what makes an offboarding check possible without handing HR the keys.

03

Manage sign-in, sessions and second factors

Sessions are the part people forget. Ending a session is what actually removes somebody who is already signed in.

04

Read sign-in history

Kept per account. It is the first thing to read when somebody reports something they did not do.

What it claims to do

The capability list this guide is written against, unabridged. Nothing above adds to it.

  • Sign-in history kept against each account

Where it connects

The modules Security hands work to, or takes it from. Most problems that look like one module are a handover between two.
