Abstract	In today's cyber security landscape, privileged user access audits are crucial for identifying and mitigating insider threats. These audits assess control mechanisms governing high-level access, focusing on potential abuse of privileges by insiders. Effective techniques for privileged user access audits include analyzing user behavior, reviewing change management compliance, and implementing anomaly detection systems. Ensuring alignment with security protocols, the auditing process highlights vulnerabilities linked to over-privileged accounts and lack of multi-factor authentication. By leveraging role-based access controls, continuous monitoring, and periodic re-evaluation, organizations can fortify their defenses against insider threats, improving overall resilience. This article presents best practices for enhancing compliance and security through rigorous audit frameworks and effective remediation strategies, ultimately ensuring a secure access environment for critical data and systems
