Compartmented Mode: In a compartmented mode setup, users are given access only to the data they require to perform their tasks and nothing else, thereby minimizing the exposure and possible leakage of sensitive information. This is a rigorous application of the principle of least privilege, often used in environments dealing with highly sensitive data, such as military or intelligence operations.
