Sarbanes Oxley
The challenge has always been how to centralize the management of all critical IT systems and
devices across a distributed environment.

In recent years, government regulations such as Sarbanes-Oxley and HIPAA have been introduced, and with them entirely new headaches for IT professionals. Security requirements are now defined by law.

Comprehensive and complete logs of all user activity and security events are now needed, not only to enforce security policy but to provide accountability and audit trail for adherence to Sarbanes-Oxley and Basel II compliance.

The new challenge is collecting user activity logs and security event notifications from all critical IT systems and devices across a distributed environment. This is nothing new to us, We’ve been doing it for years.

What is Sarbanes-Oxley?
Sarbanes-Oxley was designed to provide stakeholders of companies - whether they are employees, investors, customers, partners or any other interest – with the “peace of mind” that someone was held accountable for errors of judgment, mismanagement or simply criminal behavior.

Security Standards Rule
While still subject to interpretation by the SEC, it is now the responsibility of every corporate executive, especially the CEO and CFO whose liberty is at stake, to put in place the procedures required to accurately account for the running of the company. While predominantly financial, the Act also identifies audit trails, data integrity and security compliance and other processes “certifiable” by the CEO and CFO.

How Does DataStream Help?
DataStream is deployed in many financial institutions as well as many other larger enterprise companies currently implementing technology to help enable Sarbanes-Oxley compliance.

DataStream provides absolute technology security allowing audit trails to be set on specific process, actions or events. One of the key benefits of DataStream is real-time notification of any security events on all monitored devices. With Sarbanes-Oxley, realtime notification vs. archived log files can be the difference between proactive event handling and evidence for forensic investigation.

DataStream also provides 100% system availability allowing the company to perform at its highest level. As an economic monitoring solution, which integrates with Enterprise Systems Management applications, DataStream will allow risk to be taken out of the equation when auditors look for that signature!
