Access Certification
Governance
Access certification is the campaign where owners attest that users should keep entitlements. It overlaps heavily with access reviews; the critical difference in practice is whether revoked access is actually removed from AD and Entra.
Why it matters
Auditors ask for certification evidence. Security outcomes require remediation. Programs that only produce PDFs leave risk unchanged.
