System Owner

The person responsible for the availability and maintenance of a computerised system and for the security of the data it holds.

Details

The system owner is responsible for the technical state, security, maintenance, and availability of the system and works with the process owner and the quality unit. Inspections cite no owner assigned, or the role delegated wholly to IT so that decisions on privileges, changes, backups, and periodic review sit outside the quality procedures. Look at the role description, the system inventory, and the approval records for privileges, changes, incidents, backups, and periodic review.
