The Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX), principally Section 404, is one of a rapidly developing set of regulations covering public companies and mandating increased corporate accountability and improved financial data safeguards. Compliance can be complex: New controls must be designed, implemented and validated for effectiveness through periodic independent audits. Coalfire reduces the cost and complexity of SOX compliance by documenting SOX controls with developing test scripts to accelerate the audit process. Coalfire’s SOX services have been provided in conjunction for public companies nationwide served by national and regional financial audit firms. Coalfire’s SOX service is based on a compliance framework of assessments and remediation advice aligned to guidance from COSO and COBiT best-practices.

Whether your company is preparing for a SOX audit, is developing a best-practice IT governance program or responding to a computer compromise, Coalfire can help. We guide creation of a transparent, centralized IT security controls environment that provides understanding for management and IT staff, minimizes cost, and streamlines the audit process.
