Dublin, Dec. 07, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Sarbanes Oxley Compliance Resource Kit - Platinum Edition" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The SOX kit contains all of the tools that are needed to comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley legislation. This tool kit has been used successfully by over 500 publicly traded companies.
ITIL and "Best Practices" are no longer sufficient to conform to the Sarbanes Oxley and COBIT requirements. There are many products on the market that claim they can track changes, that they can control/manage changes or that they can audit the use of products and the changes made to systems.
Almost all of the Change Management products are either "Electronic Paper" (i.e. they cannot prevent unauthorized changes from being made) or they react after the event based on cyclic comparisons of the various data sets. The time between the cyclic comparisons is an open door for anyone trying to manipulate the systems, and paper based systems offer no protection at all.
The Sarbanes Oxley Compliance Resource Kit includes the following components:
- Security Manual Template
- Sensitive Information Policy
- Disaster Recovery Template
- Safety Manual Template
- Threat & Vulnerability Assessment Tool
- Business & IT Impact Questionnaire
- Practical Guide for IT Outsourcing
- Chief Security Officer Job Description
- Internet and IT Job Descriptions HandiGuide PDF
- Internet and IT Job Descriptions
