prevents

Information access restriction is the technical mechanism that prevents unauthorized index queries.

prevents

Managing access rights ensures only authorized users can reach indexed sensitive content.

prevents

Privileged access rights may be used to enforce index restrictions but are not the primary control.

prevents

Classification helps identify what must be protected but does not enforce index access limits.

prevents

Access control policies directly limit who can query or view the index.

mitigates

Data leakage prevention can block unauthorized index exposure but is supplementary.
