What is Segregation of Duties (SoD)?<\/strong><\/p>

Segregation of duties (SoD) is a control that divides responsibilities among different individuals to prevent fraud, errors, and conflicts of interest. It ensures that no single person has complete control over a critical process. Implementing SoD involves identifying critical processes, defining roles, assigning responsibilities, implementing technical controls, and conducting regular audits.<\/p>
