Evaluation guide

What to verify for this use case

Foundational security requirement

Non-human identity and service-account security

Inventory, least privilege, credential hygiene, monitoring, and lifecycle management for non-human identities, workloads, service accounts, application programming interface (API) keys, and machine credentials.

Questions to test
  1. A test service account, agent identity, or non-human identity appears in inventory with owner and privileges.
  2. A credential, secret, rotation, or hygiene issue is detected for the test identity.
  3. A least-privilege or lifecycle control changes the status of the test identity.
