Access Control (Data Security)
About Access Control (Data Security)
Data
access control is a technique used to regulate employees’ access to
files in an organization. It involves leveraging the principle of least
privilege (POLP), i.e., managing employees' access rights based on their
roles in the organization, and defining and limiting what data they
have access to.
Access control systems come in three variations:
Discretionary Access Control (DAC), Managed Access Control (MAC), and
Role-Based Access Control (RBAC).
Why is Access Control (Data Security) important?

control is a security technique that regulates who or what can view or
use resources in a computing environment. It is a fundamental concept in
security that minimizes risk to the business or organization. Physical

IT assets.
Access control is a fundamental component of security
compliance programs that ensures security technology and access control
policies are in place to protect confidential information, such as
customer data.
