Logic designed to give different permissions to different entities may be misconfigured or manipulated, allowing unauthorized entities to access restricted parts of the service, its data, or its child resources. This could result in a loss of data confidentiality or tolerance of unauthorized actions which impact the integrity and availability of resources and data.

| CCC.Core.CN02 | Encrypt Data for Storage | Ensure that all data stored is encrypted at rest using strong encryption algorithms. |
| CCC.Core.CN03 | Implement Multi-factor Authentication (MFA) for Access | Ensure that all sensitive activities require two or more identity factors during authentication to prevent unauthorized access. |
| CCC.Core.CN05 | Prevent Access from Untrusted Entities | Ensure that secure access controls enforce the principle of least privilege to restrict access to authorized entities from explicitly trusted sources only. |
| CCC.Core.CN04 | Log All Access and Changes | Ensure that all access attempts are logged to maintain a detailed audit trail for security and compliance purposes. |
