Provides a tamperproof, always-invoked, and verifiable mechanism to enforce access control policies.
By mandating division of duties across roles, the control enforces proper privilege management and prevents a single entity from controlling an entire sensitive process.
Implements core proper privilege management by restricting to only required rights.
The awareness and training policy mandates training on access control practices, directly reducing the likelihood of improper access control weaknesses being introduced or exploited.
Training covers proper privilege management practices, making incorrect privilege assignments less likely.
