SOX Regulations

SOX compliance refers to annual audits to show evidence of accurate, secured financial reporting. Although Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) does not call out any specific IT requirements, the law does impact the controls for information systems because financial information covered under the law is processed and stored by IT systems. SecurEnds GRC can reduce the costly implications to establish, maintain, and validate the required internal controls.

To adhere to the Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) requirements, organizations have to setup a system of IT General Controls with practices and processes that conform to the SOX regulation. This requires:
