# Security

## Governance

Resend establishes policies and controls, monitors compliance with those controls, and proves the security and compliance to third-party auditors.

Our policies are based on the following **foundational principles**:

Access should be limited to only those with a legitimate business needs,
based on the principle of least privilege.
:::

:::card{title="Consistency" icon="square-2"}
Security controls should be applied consistently across all areas of the
enterprise.
:::

:::card{title="Defense in Depth" icon="square-3"}
Security controls should be implemented and layered according to the
principle of defense-in-depth.

:::card{title="Continuous Improvement" icon="square-4"}
The implementation of controls should be iterative, continuously improving
effectiveness and decreasing friction.
