Employee lifecycle policies of a Cloud provider platform.

Policy	Brief overview
Account provisioning	The Cloud provider itself assumes the responsibility of provisioning employees and contractor access. This access to the resources hosted in the Cloud platform must be explicitly approved by the owner or data manager.
Account review	Every access account is reviewed in Cloud platforms every 90 days.
Access removal	Every employee’s access account is automatically revoked when it is concluded.
Password policy	Access to the platform is performed by user IDs and passwords to authenticate users to services, resources, and devices, as well as to authorize the appropriate level of access to each user.
