Ensuring SOX Compliance via Enhanced Change Management

Published by Solidcore on Jan 10, 2008

Assuring SOX compliance is an on-going process and surviving an audit can be a daunting task.  But compliance can be verified in a single reporting system if you enhance your existing change management system. Read this white paper to see how Solidcore enhances change management solutions to help address the following questions asked by SOX auditors:

• Are all the changes going through the change management process or emergency change process?
• What percentage of changes are going through the emergency change process?
• How do you monitor changes to make sure that the change process is followed?
• How do you track privileged user activity on databases containing financial information?

S3 Control monitors all changes on databases, servers and network devices that aid the automation of SOX compliance requirements.  The solution captures the 5 W’s (who, what, when, where and how) of the change and then matches those changes against the change tickets. With accurate reconciliation algorithms, Solidcore produces reports answering the above questions for the auditors to validate SOX compliance quickly and easily.
