| SARBANES-Oxley and Basel II - Impacts on Corporate IT Security Strategies

Corporations of the 21st century must face up to the growing challenge of compliance. Governments
worldwide are regulating information management and security with increasing amounts of legislation. At the core of all these laws are authorization, identity management, data integrity and security. As companies strive to reduce costs, improve customer service, increase sales and deal with environmental issues, they must now adapt to the constantly changing legal environment of information management regulations. Increased outsourcing necessitates the exchange of data with external partners, which raises the risk of data theft and errors significantly. The threats are compounded.
This white paper discusses corporate IT security strategies, SARBANES-Oxley (SOX), Basel II, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPPA), Japanese Data Protection Directive, and US Code of Federal Regulation Part 11.
