    • Operational written approval for the implemented IT system to operate and process sensitive information if the risk of operating the system is deemed acceptable, and if the system is in compliance with applicable security policies and standards; or
    • Interim approval - a temporary written approval to process sensitive information under a set of extenuating circumstances where the risk is not yet acceptable, but there is an operational necessity for the system under development; and
  • Develop and deliver training material relevant to IT Security TRA and C&A;
  • Brief senior management and review and provide comments related to IT Security TRA and C&A

Must-have:
