The Sarbanes-Oxley Act From an IT Perspective

Overview Although the focus of Sarbanes-Oxley is on the CEO and CFO, CIOs also play a vital role in the signoff of financial statements. CIOs are not only responsible for ensuring security and reliability of the systems that manage and report the financial data, but are accountable for the implementation and documentation of internal IT controls. Altiris IT lifecycle management solutions help IT organizations implement IT controls to fulfill corporate Sarbanes-Oxley initiatives in two main areas: asset management and management of key systems. This paper discusses the impact of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act on IT and describes how Altiris solutions help IT organizations proactively cope with the demands.
