General computer control: The infrastructure controls in a computer system, including network security, access controls, and data backup procedures, among others. These controls are not specific to individual applications within the system but, instead, provide a secure foundation that supports all applications. They help ensure the integrity, reliability, and security of data and systems by safeguarding the IT environment and enabling the effective operation of application controls.
