CC6.1 — Logical access provisioning and restriction
Requirement
The entity implements logical access security software, infrastructure and architectures over protected information assets to protect them from security events. Access is restricted to authorised users and is granted on the principle of least privilege.
What the engine looks for
Every group below must be satisfied — by an affirmative statement, not a plan, a hedge or a denial — for the control to count as covered. A term ending in … matches any word it begins. Supporting terms do not change the verdict — they raise confidence and distinguish a policy that names a mechanism from one that gestures at a category.
Finding any of these outranks coverage — a policy that admits the gap is worse than silence.
Equivalent controls elsewhere
