# Natural SAF Security - Overview

Natural SAF Security is used in conjunction with Natural Security and with an SAF-compliant external security system (RACF, CA-ACF2, or CA Top Secret).

It is assumed that you are familiar with and have a good general understanding of Natural and Natural Security. In particular, you should be familiar with the Natural Security documentation.

If you are not familiar with the external security system yourself, you should get in touch with the security administrator who is in charge of that system, as the use of Natural SAF Security requires certain conditions to be met by that system.

This documentation describes all functions of Natural SAF Security. It covers the topics listed below.
