White Papers for Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX)

Operationalizing Security & Policy Compliance

Qualys

At the heart of all data transactions is a trust between buyer and seller, employer
and employee, corporation and shareholder. We trust that the relationship
between the owners of personal data, the corporations that hold it in custody,
will be protected—that data will not be manipulated, given to, or taken by
unauthorized third parties.Unfortunately, intentional or not, that trust is violated when information is
lost, compromised or manipulated. The complexities of our data relationships
make the risk of this happening very high and in some instances, due to the
notoriety of the incident, regulatory mandates have been put in place to ensure
that corporations take a more active role in maintaining the fi duciary responsibility
for data entrusted to them.
What follows is a detailed discussion of the internal and external regulatory
challenges now faced by organizations, the scope of these challenges, and of
the ways in which they can be addressed through better business processes
and automation. The solution proposed allows organizations to raise the bar
with regard to data security, while adding needed effi ciencies to current processes.
