Account & Recovery Hardening

Review core identity and recovery controls to reduce the paths through which a compromised account could affect other accounts.

Risk scoped clearly Follow-up defined in scope Defensible next steps

Overview

Primary email may be used to recover other accounts. Review its recovery options and connected sign-in methods alongside the accounts that depend on it.

Root identity hardening covers primary email, cloud identity providers, phone carrier accounts, and password manager controls together. Recovery channels are reviewed so weak backup paths don't silently undo strong MFA and password protections.

What This Covers

Password manager deployment and rollout
Passkey/MFA strategy for root accounts
Recovery channel hardening and backup code handling
OAuth and connected-app permissions audit
Baseline monitoring and response playbook

Operational Outcomes

What the account-hardening review can address.

  • Inbox, carrier, and recovery controls are reviewed for identified routes between connected accounts.
  • Password manager, passkey, and MFA decisions become consistent instead of improvised account by account.
  • Response ownership and recovery steps are documented for use in a tabletop or incident.

Engagement Flow

Scope, validate, and follow through.

Security work should prove something useful, document it clearly, and make the next move easier to execute.

1
Scope & authorize
Clarify environment, boundaries, timing, and who sees results.
2
Test & document
Evidence gathered deliberately, findings written for operators and leadership.
3
Remediation & review
Agree fix guidance, validation, and recurring ownership in the written scope.
Remediation can cycle back to scope for periodic reassessment
