1st Party Trust

First-party trust occurs when an organization or entity trusts itself or its own systems and data. This means the organization recognizes its own users, devices, and applications as legitimate and secure. For example, a company’s internal network and employees’ accounts are considered trusted, allowing seamless access to resources without excessive verification. This trust is essential for smooth internal operations but requires strong security measures to prevent internal threats or breaches. Essentially, first-party trust is about the organization confidently relying on its own infrastructure and users for security and access management.
