    Challenge

    Found open

    Calder creates an account for every temporary worker it places, about 9,000 a year. Placements end on short notice, and the offboarding checklist lived in a shared spreadsheet that nobody owned.

    Approach

    In progress

    Palisade was connected to the directory and to payroll on a Tuesday afternoon. By the evening it had matched every account to a person, or to nobody.

    • 340 accounts had no owner
    • 22 of them held admin rights
    • 61 still had mail forwarding switched on
  3. 03

    Result

    Secured

    Offboarding now closes access the same day a placement ends, without a checklist. Admin rights are reviewed every month and take ten minutes.
