Access Control Policy Template India

Why Access Control Is Non-Negotiable

Every security framework — ISO 27001, DPDP Act, IT Act — requires documented access control. Without it, former employees retain access, new employees get too much access, and nobody knows who can access what. The access control policy prevents these gaps.

Core Principles

• Least privilege: Users get only the access they need for their role, nothing more.
• Need-to-know: Access to sensitive data is restricted to those who require it for their job.
• Separation of duties: Critical actions require two or more people (e.g., purchase approval + payment).
• Regular review: Access is reviewed quarterly to ensure it remains appropriate.
