Why each option
For a private cloud Human Resources Management (HRM) system accessible only to the HR department, Discretionary Access Control (DAC) is the most suitable method of access control.
Discretionary Access Control (DAC) allows the owner of a resource, or someone with appropriate permissions, to grant or revoke access to other users at their discretion. This model is well-suited for a departmental system where the HR department can manage who within their department has access to the HRM system.
Mandatory Access Control (MAC) is a more rigid model where access is determined by a central authority based on security labels, typically used in high-security environments, and is less flexible for departmental management.
Non-discretionary access control is a broad category encompassing models like Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) or Rule-Based Access Control, where access is determined by predefined rules or roles rather than direct owner discretion.
Comprehensive access control is a descriptive term and not a recognized access control model.
