Tailscale · 2025 surveySelf-reported survey of 1,000 IT, security and engineering professionals in the US and Canada. Respondents were asked whether they had ever retained access to a previous employer’s infrastructure, systems or software; this is not a social-account-specific rate.
Which social roles survive a leaver review?
Email access may end while an Instagram admin role remains. Marketing, agencies and regional teams grant permissions in separate business managers, and recovery details may sit with an individual. Your security team needs to review the platform roles that a corporate directory cannot revoke on its own.
Leaver access needs a separate check
Offboarding can close email and device access while leaving an older social admin role in place.
Personal identities hold corporate power
An admin role attached to a personal email address needs an explicit owner and review, even when the employee’s corporate login is disabled.
An official account can be misused

Sync your identity context
Bring directory and HR data into the review, then compare employee status and role context with access collected from your business managers. See leavers and role changes alongside the social permissions that still need attention. Available fields and connection methods depend on your identity source.
Find the permission mismatch
Match corporate identities to the accounts they can reach. Surface ex-employees, dormant admins, personal email addresses and over-privileged roles. Keep unmatched users and agency relationships visible for investigation.
Remediate by severity
Use the ranked risk report and step-by-step fixes to prioritise the biggest exposures. Route each finding to the platform owner and bring the review decision into your security control evidence.
