ITGC – Change Management Testing

🔄 Change Management

🧭 Planning:
Reviewed change logs and tickets from both routine and emergency changes.

🎯 Objectives:

  • Confirm changes are properly approved, tested, and documented

  • Validate segregation of duties and backout planning

📌 Procedures:

  • Sampled 20 change tickets

  • Assessed test plans, CAB approvals, and rollback procedures

  • Reviewed 3 emergency changes for proper documentation

📑 Working Papers:

  • WP-ITGC-CM001: Change control sample analysis

  • Change calendar, ticket system (ServiceNow)

📊 Findings:

  • ❗ 2 changes lacked formal testing

  • ❗ 1 emergency change was undocumented

  • ⚠️ No audit trail for one CAB decision

🧰 Tools Used:
ServiceNow, CAB minutes, testing evidence

✅ Recommendations:

  • Enforce mandatory documentation for emergency changes

  • Require dual approval for high-risk changes

  • Archive CAB meetings and minutes in central repository
