Test objectives
Verify the identity requirements for user registration align with business/security requirements

Validate the registration process

How to test

 * 1) Verify the identity requirements for user registration align with business/security requirements
 * 2) Can anyone register for access?
 * 3) Are registrations vetted by a human prior to provisioning, or are they automatically granted if the criteria are met?
 * 4) Can the same person/identity register multiple times?
 * 5) What proof of identity is required for a registration to be successful?
 * 6) Are registered identities verified?


 * 1) Validate the registration process

Remediation
Implement identification and verification requirements that correspond to the security requirements of the information the credentials protect.
