DS9.2:
DS 9.2 Identification and Maintenance of Configuration Items
Control Objective:
Controls provide reasonable assurance that IT components, as they relate to security, processing and availability, are well protected, would prevent any unauthorized changes, and assist in the verification and recording of the current configuration
Put procedures in place to:
- 1. Identify configuration items and their attributes
- 2. Record new, modified and deleted configuration items
- 3. Identify and maintain the relationships among configuration items in the configuration repository
- 4. Update existing configuration items into the configuration repository
- 5. Prevent the inclusion of unauthorized software
These procedures should provide proper authorization and logging of all actions on the configuration repository and be properly integrated with change management and problem management procedures.
Rationale — Configuration management includes procedures such that security, availability and processing integrity controls are set up in the system and maintained through its life cycle. Insufficient configuration controls can lead to security and availability exposures that may permit unauthorized access to systems and data and impact financial reporting
