Which of the following pairings is NOT correct?

• A. Description: Plan to align identity management with business needs. Term: IAM Strategy.
• B. Description: Framework for assessing current IAM capabilities. Term: Capability Maturity Model.
• C. Description: Document detailing user access requests. Term: Access Review Reports.
• D. Description: Automated process for managing access requests. Term: Access Request Workflow.

Answer: (C)

In IAM, knowing what each term truly represents helps distinguish correct pairings. An IAM Strategy is a plan to align identity management with business needs, guiding how IAM evolves to support the organization. A Capability Maturity Model describes a framework to assess and improve an organization’s current IAM capabilities. An Access Request Workflow is an automated process for handling user access requests, streamlining approvals and provisioning. Access Review Reports, on the other hand, are outputs of periodic access reviews that summarize who has access and what decisions were made, not the document that captures the initial request itself. A document detailing user access requests would be an Access Request (or similar form/log), not an Access Review Report. Thus the third pairing is not correct. The other pairings align with their respective concepts.
