Explanation

Privilege creep occurs when employees accumulate access rights over time - through role changes, project assignments, or promotions - beyond what their current job requires. User permission reviews (access recertification) involve periodically auditing all user accounts and revoking unnecessary permissions, directly addressing accumulated excess access. Mandatory vacations help detect fraud by forcing others to cover tasks. Separation of duties prevents conflicts of interest. Job rotation moves employees between roles but does not automatically clean up old permissions.
