Separation of duties (SOD)
Separation of duties - Wikipedia
Separation of duties (SoD; also known as Segregation of Duties) is the concept of having more than one person required to complete a task. It is an administrative control used by organisations to prevent fraud, sabotage, theft, misuse of information, and other security compromises. In the political realm, it is known as the separation of powers, as can be seen in democracies where the government is separated into three independent branches: a legislature, an executive, and a judiciary.
SoD is a security principle that involves assigning different responsibilities to different people or teams to avoid conflicts of interest and fraud. For example, in an accounting system, one person may be responsible for approving transactions, while another person is responsible for recording them.
