Steps to take when technical staff leave
- by Tom O'Connor
How do you handle the departure process when privileged or technical staff resign / get fired? Do you have a checklist of things to do to ensure the continuing operation / security of the company's infrastructure?
I'm trying to come up with a nice canonical list of things that my colleagues should do when I leave (I resigned a week ago, so I've got a month to tidy up and GTFO).
So far I've got:
Escort them off the premises
Delete their email Inbox (set all mail to forward to a catch-all)
Delete their SSH keys on server(s)
Delete their mysql user account(s)
...
So, what's next. What have I forgotten to mention, or might be similarly useful?
(endnote: Why is this off-topic? I'm a systems administrator, and this concerns continuing business security, this is definitely on-topic.)
