This contract seems to focus on the testing of controls relating to testing of controls involved in IT controls. In particular access controls, user access and segregation of duties for technical staff. The subject of testing is squarely in the area of section 404. It also connects with the interaction between Sarbanes-Oxley 404 and the Control Objectives for Information and related Technology (COBIT). COBIT is the industry standard for IT management.
