Privileged Account Access Review — API Reference

CSV Input Format

The agent consumes a CSV file with these columns:

Column Type Description
username string Account identifier (SAMAccountName or UPN)
owner string Assigned account owner / manager
roles string Semicolon-separated privilege roles
last_used string ISO date YYYY-MM-DD of last interactive logon
last_certified string ISO date YYYY-MM-DD of most recent access review
account_type string human, service, or shared

Checks Performed

Stale Account Detection

Flags accounts whose last_used date exceeds a configurable threshold (default 90 days). Accounts without a last_used value are automatically flagged as high severity.

Shared Account Detection

Matches username against common shared-account patterns: admin, root, service, svc_, shared, generic, temp. Flags accounts matching these patterns that lack an assigned owner.

Excessive Privilege Detection

Compares the roles field against high-risk role names: Domain Admin, Enterprise Admin, Schema Admin, Global Admin, Super Admin, Root. Any match triggers a critical finding.

Recertification Compliance

Compares last_certified against a configurable interval (default 180 days). Accounts never certified are flagged as critical.

Compliance Frameworks

  • NIST SP 800-53 AC-2: Account Management — periodic review of privileged accounts
  • CIS Controls v8 5.3: Disable dormant accounts after 45 days of inactivity
  • PCI DSS 8.1.4: Remove/disable inactive user accounts within 90 days
  • SOX Section 404: Internal controls over financial reporting require access reviews
  • ISO 27001 A.9.2.5: Review of user access rights at planned intervals
