Core Principles

Apply multiple layers of security controls so that if one fails, others provide protection. Never rely on a single security mechanism.

Never trust, always verify. Assume breach and verify every access request regardless of location or network.

Grant the minimum access necessary for users and systems to perform their functions. Regularly review and revoke unused permissions.

Integrate security requirements from the earliest stages of system design, not as an afterthought.

Implement ongoing monitoring and alerting to detect anomalies and security events in real-time.
