Common use of Design and Development Clause in Contracts

Design and Development. You must design and develop your Critical Systems and all payment-related processes so that they are secure from intrusion and interference by unauthorised persons. All users of your systems must be required to authenticate themselves to your Critical Systems, and those Systems must limit the access and powers of their users. You must also organise your business so as to segregate critical duties and create controls and checkpoints in your operations, rather than place too much unchecked power over your systems and operations in one person. Never give a user more power over your systems and processes than the minimum necessary for the user to perform his or her assigned role.
