Title

Joint Authorization — Intra-organization

Control

Employ a joint authorization process for the system that includes multiple authorizing officials from the same organization conducting the authorization.

Discussion

Assigning multiple authorizing officials from the same organization to serve as co-authorizing officials for the system increases the level of independence in the risk-based decision-making process. It also implements the concepts of separation of duties and dual authorization as applied to the system authorization process. The intra-organization joint authorization process is most relevant for connected systems, shared systems, and systems with multiple information owners.
