When is a health check mandatory for the PTA?

A health check for the PTA (Privileged Access Management) system is considered mandatory when specific conditions are met. This emphasizes the proactive approach of ensuring the system is functioning optimally and securely under varying circumstances.

Specific conditions could include changes in the system environment, migrations to new infrastructure, significant security incidents, or when audit findings suggest vulnerabilities. Running a health check under these conditions helps ensure that the system adheres to compliance standards and operates without risks that could compromise privileged access security.

In contrast, while system upgrades and hardware replacements are important events, they do not universally necessitate a health check unless they fall under the conditions that trigger such a requirement. The notion of a health check being 'never mandatory' is also incorrect, as regular assessments are integral to maintaining the integrity and security of the system.
