View Control Practices  help

Hide Control Practices  help

  1. Develop a process to allow business process owners and IT to request changes to infrastructure, systems or applications. Develop controls to ensure that all such changes arise only through the change request management process.
  2. Categorise all requested changes (e.g., infrastructure, operating systems, networks, application systems, purchased/packaged application software).
  3. Prioritise all requested changes. Ensure that the change management process identifies both the business and technical needs for the change. Consider legal, regulatory and contractual reasons for the requested change.
  4. Assess all requests in a structured fashion. Ensure that the assessment process addresses impact analysis on infrastructure, systems and applications. Consider security, legal, contractual and compliance implications of the requested change. Consider also interdependencies amongst changes. Involve business process owners in the assessment process, as appropriate.
  5. Ensure that each change is formally approved by business process owners and IT technical stakeholders, as appropriate.
