Common use of Segregation of Duties Clause in Contracts

Segregation of Duties. To the extent reasonably possible, Administrator must segregate duties and areas of responsibility in order to reduce opportunities for unauthorized modification or misuse of Administrator’s assets and ensure that no single person can access, modify or use assets without authorization or detection. Controls will be designed to separate the initiation of an event from its authorization. If segregation is not reasonably possible, other controls such as monitoring of activities, audit trails and management supervision should be utilized. Development, testing, and operational environments should be separated to reduce the risks of unauthorized access or changes to the operational environment.
