IT systems including applications, operating systems, databases, and supporting IT infrastructure can all be subject to the fundamental controls known as IT general controls (ITGC). The goals of ITGCs are to guarantee the accuracy of the data and the processes that the systems underpin.
The most common ITGCs are as follow:
– Logical access controls over applications, data and supporting infrastructure
– Program change management controls
– Backup and recovery controls
– Computer operation controls
– Data center physical security controls
– System development life cycle controls
