IT General Controls (ITGC) in Cybersecurity - Getting It Right!
Security Boulevard, Friday, January 24th, 2025
Organizations' reliance on IT infrastructure for their financial and operational activities is growing exponentially. IT General Controls or ITGC ensures the IT systems work securely and efficiently.
These controls keep in check how well information is managed, whether the IT infrastructure is compliant with the business, regulatory, and legal requirements; reliability and security of data and other IT assets; and the implications of these controls over automated and manual processes. If these controls are weak, it can cause problems for other applications or asset checks. So, it's important to implement ITGC rightfully and plan regular audits for the IT systems.
