A documented process for evaluating, approving, and tracking modifications to systems, applications, and security configurations.
Change management is the documented process by which a firm evaluates, approves, and tracks modifications to its systems, applications, and security controls. Under the FTC Safeguards Rule, the Qualified Individual must adjust the information security program based on changes in operations, testing results, or other material circumstances (16 CFR 314.4(h)). In practice, change management means recording when you add a new tax software, migrate email providers, hire a new MSP, or change cloud storage, and reassessing security controls each time.
Most security gaps appear after a change: a migrated mailbox without MFA reapplied, a new cloud share without access reviews, a new vendor without contract terms. Change management catches these. It also creates the audit trail that proves the WISP and risk assessment have evolved with the firm rather than sitting stale.
The Governance Roadmap module handles this for your firm, personalized to your software, team size, and state requirements.
