Overview
An access control policy is used as a formal document to set out what we do as an organisation for controlling access to systems and services. It is an essential component of our information security strategy and it protects our information from unauthorised access, disclosure, destruction, use or corruption.
The access control policy allows us to comply with data protection laws, regulations and is a requirement of the ISO 27001 standard for certification.
The policy also reduces the risk of data breaches and should improve our overall operational efficiency.
The key elements of the access control policy include the statement that sets out the purpose and commitment to access control. It covers all parts of the users lifecycle with us and it covers the different types of accounts we can have, in particular with reference to administrative and privilege accounts and the special measures we put in place around these.
We remember that users can also include third party users such as suppliers and it takes this into account.
