4. The nature and extent of controls required for the
smaller company should be less than those of the
larger company. While there are always
exceptions to the rule, smaller companies should
carefully assess their risks and implement only the
controls that are necessary. To assist in this regard,
the product had been designed to tailor the
required controls and level of significance based
on project.
Techserv believes in not to take a one-size-fits-all
strategy, but instead to take a risk based approach
and implement only those IT controls that are
necessary and relevant in the project’s
circumstances.
