A fundamental aspect of implementing a business's access control system is developing the access control policy.

An access control policy is the strategic foundation of all the best access control systems. Every company should decide the data and resources each employee should be able to access.

Defining access control policy

An access control policy documents and specifies the resources that employees, management, contractors, business partners and customers can access. It also states when and where such access can take place.

An access control policy points out the following high-level concerns:

  • Necessary resource access types.
  • Access scope
  • Regulatory compliance considerations for access
  • Coordination across the organisations' departments
  • Control types that enable access management and oversight

How to determine access

Determining everyone's proper place is the result of extensive thought and planning.

For example, company CEOs have ultimate control over all business decisions and need access to extensive data. Yet CEOs wouldn't have access to detailed accounts payable or receivable accounting systems as a measure to prevent internal fraud. CEOs might also not have free access to a factory floor because they lack the training and gear to move safely around.

Models and mechanisms

Models are the step between creating a policy and implementing it. They include detailed rule descriptions that don't depend on any given hardware, software or other mechanisms. 

Mechanisms can be software-based, such as an access control list or a physical item like a key or swipe card. Proper documentation will record which mechanisms will be used where.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!
