Technical Safeguards refer to technical policies and procedures that control access and use of computer systems. These include computer system, password, anti-viral software, and email security regulations.
Computer system access must be regulated:
- Controlling the level of access to the computer system
- Granting only minimum and necessary access based on job responsibility
- Logging off users automatically if there is no activity after a certain period of time
- Requiring users to log off when leaving workstations
