Intranet Security
Intranet security refers to the measures and systems in place to protect internal content, user accounts, and sensitive data from unauthorized access or misuse. It ensures that only the right people see the right content - especially in regulated environments like banks and credit unions.
Intranet security includes authentication, role-based access, audit trails, content permissions, encryption, and compliance controls. It's not just about keeping outsiders out - it's about managing internal visibility and accountability as well.
Why It Matters
Financial institutions handle policies, procedures, forms, and internal reports that must remain confidential. A weak intranet setup - like shared logins, outdated permissions, or unsecured servers - can lead to data breaches, audit findings, or regulatory fines.
Key Elements of Intranet Security
- Secure authentication (e.g., Azure AD, MFA)
- Granular content permissions by role and department
- Audit trails to track access and changes
- File protection and optional download restrictions
- Support for secure cloud hosting or on-prem environments
