How does Foundry ensure authorized access to sensitive information?

Foundry ensures authorized access to sensitive information primarily through the implementation of role-based access control (RBAC). This mechanism allows organizations to define access permissions based on user roles rather than on an individual basis. By assigning users specific roles, which correlate to the level of access and the set of permissions granted to them, Foundry can effectively manage who has visibility to sensitive data.

With RBAC, users only gain access to the information necessary for their function within the organization, adhering strictly to the principle of least privilege. This minimizes the risk of unauthorized access to sensitive information and ensures that only those who need to see certain data for their work can do so. The structure of roles can be tailored to align with the organization’s needs, ensuring that the security measures scale effectively as roles evolve or new users are added.

While user engagement, staff training, and monitoring system updates play important roles in data security and user awareness, they do not serve as mechanisms for controlling access in the way that role-based access control does. RBAC is specifically designed to restrict access to data based on user roles, making it the central feature for ensuring that sensitive information is adequately protected against unauthorized access.
