Critical Steps to Information Security

Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) legislation mandates the business processes that are fundamental to reporting financial data.  These business processes can include general ledger, accounts receivable and quote to cash reporting, among others.  The legislation not only affects the financial side of businesses, but it also affects the IT department where the information is managed and stored.  IT departments are increasingly faced with the challenge of creating and maintaining corporate records in a cost effective fashion that satisfies the requirments of the legislation. 

Core IT components that typically require improvement during the compliance process:

• Change management
• Role definition
