No Backup Ownership

No Backup Ownership is the absence of a secondary owner for a role, application profile, or reviewable access perimeter.

Definition

No Backup Ownership occurs when an organization relies on a single person to own a role, profile, or access perimeter with no formal fallback. This creates continuity risk and weakens resilience in approval, review, and governance processes.

Why it matters

No Backup Ownership is the absence of a secondary owner for a role, application profile, or reviewable access perimeter.
