COSO Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) P11: Principle 11: Selects and develops general controls over technology

The organization chooses and builds general controls over technology that help it achieve its objectives. Points of focus (4). Dependency: management understands how business processes, automated controls and the technology general controls beneath them depend on one another. Infrastructure: controls over technology infrastructure support processing that is complete, accurate and available. Security management: controls limit access to authorised users according to their duties and guard assets against outside threats. Acquisition, development and maintenance: controls cover how technology and its infrastructure are acquired, developed and maintained. Approaches the framework suggests for external financial reporting: recording technology dependencies in risk and control matrices; assessing end-user computing; putting in place or monitoring controls where IT functions are outsourced; setting up IT infrastructure to restrict access and separate duties; setting up IT so transactions and data are processed completely and accurately; administering security and access; following a system development life cycle for purchased packages; following a system development life cycle for software built internally.

What else in your programme already covers this

This control maps to 3 controls across 1 other frameworks. If you already hold one of them, the evidence you collected for it is the starting point here rather than new work.

COBIT 2019 · 3 controls

  • BAI06.01 BAI06.01 Evaluate, prioritize and authorize change requests
  • DSS05.04 DSS05.04 Manage user identity and logical access
  • DSS06.02 DSS06.02 Control the processing of information

Every mapping shown was judged rather than inferred from wording similarity, and the ones that failed review are published too. See the coverage reports and what was rejected.
