As part of the investigation I decided to do a PESTLE analysis which has taken the majority of time to complete due to the range of reading I have covered.
While doing the analysis I was in two minds on whether the research would provide any additional insight into the possible development outcomes for User Guardian.
My gut feeling was that the research could be going off topic on a general IT Security tangent, however after creating the summary table its helped realise some ideas, and will be useful for the market research and interviews.
For example I feel the least privilege idea and the possible options around keeping a history of changes within the tool for retaining information for future audits might be another good feature, and worth exploring through market research interviews. The before and after feature could be a nice addition to clearly demonstrate improvements/or failings in different areas after access management reviews.
