5. Plan and automate identity governance (20–25%)

Every phase so far has granted something — roles, app access, guest invitations, standing permissions. Governance is the discipline that keeps those grants honest over time: entitlement management makes access requestable with expiration designed in (5.1), access reviews force periodic re-justification (5.2), PIM converts standing privilege into just-in-time activation (5.3), and the monitoring stack proves what actually happened (5.4). The exam's framing word is automate: the right answers replace tickets and tribal memory with policies that run themselves.
