CC6.1: logical access

CC6.1: logical access is where the access problem becomes visible. The useful question is not whether identity teams should care. They already do. The question is whether the workflow catches the change before a ticket, renewal, or auditor catches it first.

For soc 2 cc6 for it operators, the winning pattern is simple: start with the source of truth, run the change through a governed workflow, and store evidence as a byproduct. That keeps IT work out of ad hoc Slack threads and puts it back into a system you can replay.

CC6.3: removal
