Technical Safeguards

Technical safeguards are security measures implemented to protect sensitive information stored and transmitted in digital systems. They include tools like encryption, which scrambles data so only authorized parties can read it; access controls, which restrict who can view or modify information; audit logs, which track activity to detect any suspicious behavior; and secure network setups, such as firewalls, to prevent unauthorized access. These safeguards help ensure that private data remains confidential, intact, and accessible only to those with proper permissions, reducing the risk of breaches and maintaining trust in digital systems.
