If shared accounts are used for admin purposes, passwords must be changed as soon as possible after any user with admin rights leaves their job.
The organisation must manage all of it’s users and their privileges. This includes all third party users, which have access into the organisations data or systems.
The organisation must remove users entirely or remove privileges from them when they are no longer needed e.g when employee role changes.
