Access controls are categorized into three standard types: (A) Administrative controls - policies, procedures, training, and background checks that govern how people interact with systems; (C) Technical (logical) controls - software and hardware mechanisms such as firewalls, encryption, and authentication systems; and (D) Physical controls - tangible barriers like locks, guards, cameras, and badge readers.
