UK AI Cyber Security Code of Practice 2.6: Least-privilege, risk-assessed permissions for the AI system on other systems

What does 2.6 require?

Where the AI system connects to other systems or data sources, whether internal or external, the developer and the system operator grant it only the permissions its function needs, and each grant is risk assessed.
