1.4 Identity Lifecycle Management

1. Identity & ProvenanceWho is this agent? Can we verify?

Description

Agent identities MUST be managed through their full lifecycle: creation, rotation, suspension, and revocation.

Rationale

Long-lived static identities accumulate risk over time. Key rotation limits exposure from compromised keys.

Audit Procedure

1. Document identity lifecycle procedures
2. Check for key rotation automation
3. Verify revocation process exists

Remediation

1. Establish key rotation policy (90 days recommended)
2. Implement automated rotation
3. Document and test revocation procedures
