Realistically, many of us lose sight of our organizational chart and how it grows or shrinks over time. This is why you need to inventory all of them. Also, do not forget to include external departments such as vendors or federated partners. If your organizations goes password-free, but partners continue to use passwords and then access your corporate resources, you should know about it and include them in your passwordless strategy. #### Organization or department hierarchy -Organization and department hierarchy is the management layers within the departments or the organization as a whole. How the device is used, what applications and how they are used most likely differ between each department, but also within the structure of the department. To determine the correct password-less strategy, you need to know these differences across your organization. An executive leader is likely to use their device differently than a member of middle management in the sales department. Both of those use cases are likely different than how an individual contributor in the customer service department uses their device. +Organization and department hierarchy is the management layers within the departments or the organization as a whole.

To determine the correct passwordless strategy, you need to know these differences across your organization. An executive leader is likely to use their device differently than a member of middle management in the sales department. Both of those user cases are probably different to how an individual contributor in the customer service department uses their device. #### Number and type of applications and services The number of applications within an organization is simply astonishing and rarely is there one centralized list that is accurate. Applications and services are the most critical item in your password-less assessment. Applications and services take considerable effort to move to a different type of authentication. That is not to say changing policies and procedures is not a daunting task, but there is something to be said of updating a company's set of standard operating procedure and security policies compared to changing 100 lines (or more) of authentication code in the critical path of your internally developed CRM application.
