Least Privilege Principle: Giving Employees Only the Access They Need

In today’s remote work environment, controlling who can access what within your company’s network is crucial for security and compliance. That’s where the Least Privilege Principle comes in—an essential strategy for minimizing risks.

What Is the Least Privilege Principle?

Simply put, it means giving employees the minimum level of access necessary to perform their jobs—nothing more, nothing less. By limiting permissions, you reduce the chances of accidental or intentional data breaches.

Why It Matters for Remote Work Compliance

With employees accessing company resources from various locations and devices, unrestricted access can quickly lead to vulnerabilities. Cybercriminals often exploit overly permissive accounts to move laterally within networks. Enforcing least privilege helps stop attackers and keeps sensitive data safer.
