The method includes constructing an organizational domain specifying business assets to be secured and the actors in specific roles requiring access to the business assets. The method also includes constructing a control policy domain including system setting attributes and access control policies for a computer system, the access control policies specifying permissions-based access to specified types of data based upon actor and purpose of use criteria. The method further includes mapping user identifiers to corresponding actors and mapping system artifacts in the computer system or subsystem to business assets defined in the organizational domain to which an access control policy is to be applied. The method also includes applying the access control policies to the system.
