The expansion turns on whether audit evidence justifies a broader access package.
Security wants attributable workload access records, while finance protects the renewal budget against a bundled alternative.
Who you’d be doing this for
“Audit asked who pulled a workload credential last month, and I had to chase three teams for it.”
Sabine Crawford · IT Security Administrator
Owns credential controls and prepares access evidence for internal audit at the prospective expansion customer.
What is at stake
A $420,000 expansion is at risk because finance sees a higher-priced package than the bundled alternative. You must weigh a sharper audit-evidence case against the customer’s demand for commercial simplicity.
Why it isn’t already fixed
Every obvious fix costs something else. That’s the part you’d have to decide.
- audit evidence vs. licence cost
- technical proof vs. procurement speed
- direct account control vs. partner-led simplicity
- quarter-end forecast vs. durable deal economics
