Access Control Policy

How internal access to production systems, user data, and admin functions is granted, reviewed, and revoked.

Internal access is structured. The Access Control Policy defines the least-privilege default, the role-based access tiers, the MFA requirement, the quarterly access review, the immediate-revocation triggers (departure, role change, security incident), and the audit-log requirements that connect access events to identifiable individuals.

It applies to Map.ca staff, contractors, vendors with production access, and the security team that operates the access-control system.

Requirements

  • Default to least privilege.
  • Review access quarterly and on every role change.

Prohibitions

  • Do not share credentials between people.
  • Do not grant indefinite admin access without review.
