Access to modify source code is restricted to authorized personnel.
As IllumiDesk is open source and we have contributors outside of the company from across the world, anybody can view and submit edits to the codebase to fix issues, add features, and so on. The spirit of this control is to ensure there's a process in place so that all additions, including from the IllumiDesk community, are appropriately reviewed and approved before being merged into the codebase.
This control applies to any system or process where source code can be modified.
Control owner:

Process owner:

As the IllumiDesk system supports the ability to restrict modification without the Owner
approval, this should be able to demonstrate how access reviews are achieved of the Maintainer
, Developer
, and Owner
roles within IllumiDesk.com.
Possible evidence an auditor would request:
Policy on authorized roles that can make changes to source code
Policy on how source code changes are approved
List of authorized team members with permissions to change source code
Evidence of an MR approved by an eligible approver
Non-public information relating to this security control as well as links to the work associated with various phases of project work can be found in the Source Code Security control issue.
