SOX compliance: Using BMC CONTROL-M Solutions for Operations Management

BMC Software

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 was enacted by U.S. legislature to protect investors and the public from fraudulent corporate accounting practices and erroneously reported corporate financial information. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) established the rules, requirements, and deadlines, and continues to administer compliance. The burden of compliance now falls largely on the IT staffs that are responsible for supporting their organizations’ business and accounting processes.

This white paper provides an overview of Sarbanes-Oxley requirements for IT organizations, and reviews how BMC Software’s BMC® CONTROL-M solutions provide the means to easily address compliance for operations management — initially and going forward procedurally. Specifically, this paper discusses:

• Sarbanes-Oxley Act and Section 404 directives
• Sarbanes-Oxley demands on IT operations
• COBIT and COSO internal control frameworks
• How CONTROL-M solutions help you gain control of operations management and assist in your compliance projects
