Consider functionality, hardware and software configuration, integration and performance testing, migration between environments, version control, test data and tools, and security.
Applicability:
- Sarbanes-Oxley
- HIPAA
- GLBA
- PCI
- FISMA
- NIST SP 800-66
- Ditscap
- Control Exception
- User Defined
Risk Association Control Activities:
- 1. Risk: The transfer of programs into the live environment may not be appropriately controlled.
- a. SOX.1.3 Post implementation reviews are performed to verify that controls are operating effectively.
