Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) Compliance Solutions

The challenge:

Publicly traded companies, public accounting firms, and firms providing auditing services need to have extensive internal control systems. Since much of a company’s financial data resides on servers, responsibility for these internal control requirements falls on IT professionals. Network administrators must review, develop, and implement access controls in order to bring a Windows network into compliance. Continual checks throughout the year are required to ensure that these established controls are in place and are effective, in addition to an annual review of all internal controls with extensive reporting to auditors.
