Governance

CFG Merchant Solutions Compliance and Security teams establish policies and controls, monitor compliance with those controls, and prove our security and compliance to third-party auditors.

Our policies are based on the following foundational principles:

01.

Access should be limited to only those with a legitimate business need and granted based on the principle of least privilege.

02.

Security controls should be implemented and layered according to the principle of defense-in-depth.

03.

Security controls should be applied consistently across all areas of the enterprise.

04.

The implementation of controls should be iterative, continuously maturing across the dimensions of improved effectiveness, increased auditability, and decreased friction.
