Proper application security and configuration settings ensure the integrity of data processing. Improper design and management of application security can cause inadequate segregation of duties and lead to the introduction of invalid transactions. Additionally, improper configurations can result in an inability to record and monitor user activities.
Application security management and related application controls establish the foundation of internal user access restrictions. However, access to application databases must also be restricted to aid the enforcement of internal application control settings and ensure the protection of data. The review and inspection of application settings and configurations provides assurance that data processing is complete and accurate.
During the review of application configurations, we assess the management of application security, the assignment of user access and privileges, and the effectiveness of application controls. We also provide assistance with the creation of transaction processing controls and the development of user policies and procedures.
