require access. Access to electronic 

records is controlled by the 

organization’s Single Sign-On and 

Multi-Factor Authentication Solution.

electronic data access and the 

organization employs the principle of 

least privilege, allowing only authorized 

users with access (or processes acting on 

behalf of users) necessary to accomplish 

assigned tasks in accordance with 

organizational missions and business 

functions. 

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR RETRIEVAL OF

in controlled access areas. Identification 

cards are verified to ensure that only 

authorized personnel can access the 

records.
