Policy: AWS > Well-Architected Tool > AWS Well-Architected Framework > Security > SEC 08. How do you protect your data at rest? > Use mechanisms to keep people away from data

Keep all users away from directly accessing sensitive data and systems under normal operational circumstances. For example, provide a dashboard instead of direct access to a data store to run queries. Where CI/CD pipelines are not used, determine which controls and processes are required to adequately provide a normally disabled break-glass access mechanism.

See Use mechanisms to keep people away from data for more information.
