Why use an onboarding checklist?

The first day is the most dangerous day for data security. New hires need access to everything—email, Slack, GitHub, AWS, databases. Without a standardized process, credentials often get sent via:

  • Personal Email: "Here's your temporary password" (archived forever).
  • Slack/Teams: "Login is admin/admin123" (searchable by everyone).
  • Sticky Notes: (Visible to anyone walking by).

The "Zero-Trust" Onboarding Method

This checklist enforces a secure workflow:

  1. Generate strong, unique passwords (never reuse defaults).
  2. Deliver via ephemeral, self-destructing links (SnapPwd).
  3. Enforce MFA immediately upon first login.
