Identity providers mandate authentication for functions that would otherwise lack it.
Requires authentication for non-organizational users, preventing access to critical functions without proper identification and authentication.
Requires established identification and authentication to unlock, mitigating missing authentication for continued system access.
Requiring identification and rationale for actions allowed without authentication ensures critical functions are not left unprotected by forcing review of authentication requirements.
