Individual accountability: The practice of holding individuals accountable for their actions, including any security breaches or violations. This can help to ensure that employees take responsibility for their actions and can help to prevent security incidents by creating a culture of accountability within the organization. An example of individual accountability might be requiring employees to sign a security policy acknowledging their responsibility to protect company data.
