Access control mechanisms ensure that only authorized personnel can access specific data or systems. This can be achieved through methods like Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), where users must provide two or more verification factors to gain access, and Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), which restricts access based on the user's role within an organization. Implementing strong access controls minimizes the risk of unauthorized data access and ensures that sensitive toxicological information is only available to those who need it.
