Who determines access authorization to areas containing sensitive devices/data/systems?

Access authorization to areas containing sensitive devices, data, or systems is primarily determined by each individual agency. This decentralized approach allows agencies to establish security protocols and access levels that are tailored to their specific operational needs and the sensitivity of the information they handle. Each agency is responsible for implementing measures that ensure compliance with applicable regulations while effectively managing who can access critical resources.

By allowing each agency to dictate their own policies, organizations can maintain a higher level of security customized to their environment and operational requirements. This flexibility is essential in addressing the diverse nature of agencies and the types of sensitive data they manage, ensuring that access control is aligned with the unique risks and responsibilities associated with their specific functions.
