Perhaps timelock[1] variants could be implemented if a usable option comes up. The idea being that if access or activity is dormant for a period of time t, then at t+1 secondary keys can be used. This presumes that organizations wishes to maintain a "single focal point" and not simply share the access amongst several individuals.

Timelocked secondary keys/credentials could be used as a fail safe. If one wants to really design safety into the system, ensure each admin-level key is revokable, and then wait for t duration.
