IT and IS Controls
As technology plays an increasingly important role in modern business, it's essential for technology companies to have robust IT and information security (IS) controls in place. IT and IS controls are measures that organizations use to safeguard their technology systems and data from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, disruption, modification, or destruction. In this page, we'll explore what IT and IS controls are, their key points, and how Compliance Compass can help technology companies implement them effectively.

KEY POINTS
IT Controls: IT controls are procedures that organizations use to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of their technology systems. These controls can be technical or administrative in nature and may include measures such as access controls, encryption, backup and recovery procedures, and software updates.
​
IS Controls: IS controls are measures that organizations use to protect their sensitive information and ensure compliance with relevant laws and regulations. These controls may include access controls, data classification, security awareness training, and incident response planning.
​
Benefits of IT and IS Controls: Implementing robust IT and IS controls can provide a range of benefits for technology companies, including reduced risk of data breaches, improved operational efficiency, compliance with relevant laws and regulations, and increased customer confidence and trust.
