From a network used by dedicated scientific intellectuals devoted to honest research, the Internet has grown to become the worlds biggest clearinghouse for information of all kinds. At the same time, it has become a haven for inappropriate behavior and systems attacks, as well as posing a liability for any company that doesnt appropriately manage their employees' Internet use. Due to the serious nature of many threats, the Internet use of even one unmonitored employee on a single unmanaged system can ravage a companys internal network, irrevocably delete critical data, and ultimately ruin the companys ability to conduct business. Situations like this arent works of fiction, but actual everyday occurrences for organizations with unprotected networks. Read this white paper to learn more about how to protect your organization from these threats. http://www.compliancehome.com/whitepapers/SOX/abstract11960.html Tue, 25 May 2010 00:00:00 CST http://www.compliancehome.com/whitepapers/SOX/abstract11959.html Protecting information assetsconfidential intellectual property, sensitive customer data, financial information or private patient informationcontinues to be a top-of-mind issue for all enterprises.

My children frequently remind me of this when I quickly pre-judge them based on my sole perspective without their input. While a two-way communication process clearly makes sense, its integration in the business world is often not effective. This includes communications between a companys board and its external auditor. http://www.compliancehome.com/whitepapers/SOX/abstract11945.html Mon, 03 May 2010 00:00:00 CST http://www.compliancehome.com/whitepapers/SOX/abstract11937.html Just like wired networks, 802.11 wireless LANs require network policies that are designed, implemented, and enforced to maximize network performance and reduce exposure to the inherent security flaws in 802.11 wireless LANs. The many benefits and expected return on investment of a wireless LAN can be wiped out if a security and management policy is not in place and enforced. This paper is designed to guide network administrators and security managers to design, implement, and enforce wireless LAN security policies that enable every organization to fully reap the benefits of wireless LANs without experiencing undue management pains and security holes. This paper will also cover how organizations can comply with regulatory policies like HIPAA, PCI, GLBA - Safeguards Rule, DoD 8100.2, Sarbanes-Oxley Act etc. http://www.compliancehome.com/whitepapers/SOX/abstract11937.html Wed, 28 Apr 2010 00:00:00 CST http://www.compliancehome.com/whitepapers/SOX/abstract11936.html Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) requires firms with a public float over $75 million during 2002-2004 to file management reports beginning in 2004, but firms with a smaller float in each of the three years do not need to comply until the end of 2007. Relative to firms that could delay compliance, mandatory filers cut CEO compensation and financial slack, increase ownership by insiders, raise payouts to shareholders, and slow investment growth.

This paper discusses the effects of Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) Act on corporate information security governance practices. http://www.compliancehome.com/whitepapers/SOX/abstract11912.html Sat, 27 Mar 2010 00:00:00 CST http://www.compliancehome.com/whitepapers/SOX/abstract11905.html The author studies the impact of Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) on the relationship between corporate governance and company performance. Five measures of corporate governance are considered during the period 1998-2007. The author finds a negative and significant relationship between board independence and operating performance during the pre-2002 period, but a positive and significant relationship during the post-2002 period. The stock ownership of directors is consistently positively and significantly related to performance for both sub-periods. http://www.compliancehome.com/whitepapers/SOX/abstract11905.html Sat, 27 Mar 2010 00:00:00 CST http://www.compliancehome.com/whitepapers/SOX/abstract11904.html This paper shows that the period following the passage of the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002 (SOX) is associated with a significant reduction in compensation-based incentives to take risk, which is related to a decline in risky investments. Moreover, consistent with the rules in SOX directly affecting CEOs' incentives to take risk, the document that the decline in risky investments exceeds the amount that would be expected from changes in compensation packages alone. Finally, the paper documents that these effects are robust to controlling for the market decline in 2000/2001 as well as the passage of SFAS 123R. http://www.compliancehome.com/whitepapers/SOX/abstract11904.html Sat, 27 Mar 2010 00:00:00 CST http://www.compliancehome.com/whitepapers/SOX/abstract11903.html The Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) of 2002 which is also known as the Public Company Accounting Reform and Investor Protection Act promulgates the importance of effective internal control systems after a series of accounting scandals in the early 2000's in which firms misreported their earnings. The main objective for the implementation of SOX is to improve the quality and transparency of financial reports and provide investors more confidence in these financial reports by focusing more on internal controls of financial reporting by firms. More importantly, Sections 302 and 404 of this Act require publically traded companies to certify the effectiveness of their internal controls and assessment by its management that the internal controls implemented are adequate. http://www.compliancehome.com/whitepapers/SOX/abstract11903.html Sat, 27 Mar 2010 00:00:00 CST http://www.compliancehome.com/whitepapers/SOX/abstract11896.html Most financial institutions lack internal resources or the technical expertise necessary to identify all of the risks to information security, making a correct evaluation of risk extremely difficult if not impossible. Therefore, without knowing where threats exist, or their potential severity, within their information systems, a financial institution is ill prepared to combat a threat, mitigate the costs of a breach or even face a Federal or State examiners prying eyes. This white paper explains the value of having qualified experts properly identify and evaluate information risk through a comprehensive risk assessment. It also shows how developing a continuous risk management program, thus continuous compliance, can benefit the entire organization in a cost-effective manner. http://www.compliancehome.com/whitepapers/SOX/abstract11896.html Thu, 18 Mar 2010 00:00:00 CST http://www.compliancehome.com/whitepapers/SOX/abstract11890.html Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) requires firms with a public float over $75 million during 2002-2004 to file management reports beginning in 2004, but firms with a smaller float in each of the three years do not need to comply until the end of 2007.

A big challenge for IT security professionals is navigating this ambiguity and achieving the organization's compliance goals effectively and on budget. This guide covers seven typical IT security compliance errors and outlines the best practices you can immediately apply to your environment to help your company achieve compliance. http://www.compliancehome.com/whitepapers/SOX/abstract11889.html Thu, 18 Mar 2010 00:00:00 CST http://www.compliancehome.com/whitepapers/SOX/abstract11888.html Audits are a fact of life - surveys show 90% of businesses are audited at least once per year. Even in the best economic times, businesses need to be vigilant against unnecessary costs and risks. In challenging times such as these, it's even more critical to avoid missteps, protect cash flow, and derive maximum value from people and processes. This whitepaper from Sabrix tax experts will navigate you to learn how you can protect precious cash flow by proactively addressing audit risk. http://www.compliancehome.com/whitepapers/SOX/abstract11888.html Thu, 18 Mar 2010 00:00:00 CST http://www.compliancehome.com/whitepapers/SOX/abstract11887.html Medium size businesses are plagued by the same security risks that the largest enterprises face on a daily basis, but they typically lack the time, budget and IT resources to adequately protect themselves against all of todays sophisticated threats. The list is long and daunting: Trojans, botnets, spam, spyware, malicious web sites, data loss, and data theft. Medium businesses need to enforce acceptable use policies for email and the web, and ensure compliance with government data privacy regulations. A single hacker attack, a single misplaced laptop containing confidential data, a single infected device could cripple a medium size business. McAfee helps keep small and medium businesses like yours protected with a smart, simple, secure solution designed for small and medium enterprise customers.

Similarly, enterprises are facing significant challenges in preventing the theft or accidental disclosure of intellectual property (IP) and corporate trade secrets. Ultimately, the challenge of establishing and implementing effective personal information and IP protection solutions falls upon the shoulders of IT management and staff. Securing personally identifiable information (PII) and IP has become a high priority for enterprise management and IT.

Over the last few years, this challenge has been compounded by increasing compliance regulations that can mean fines or even jail time if privacy data is mishandled. In California and other states that have enacted similar laws, organizations are now forced to publicly disclose if computerized data files have been compromised by unauthorized access that might open up the risk for identity theft. The impact on privacy data leaks can impact an organizations brand and public reputation, not to mention put its customers, employees and partners at serious risk.

Showing clear long-term cost savings or conducting a total cost of ownership (TCO) comparison is a very effective way to show the value of a security investment. Doing so also allows the security team to align with management to make a positive contribution to the business. In this whitepaper, we look at several examples where significant cost savings are demonstrated and the cost of purchase of security information and event management (SIEM) technology has been realized in short periods of time following the SIEM implementation. http://www.compliancehome.com/whitepapers/SOX/abstract11877.html Tue, 09 Mar 2010 00:00:00 CST http://www.compliancehome.com/whitepapers/SOX/abstract11876.html With complex regulations, continually evolving interpretations and stiff penalties, the mission-critical task of revenue management is more complex than ever. 66% of companies fail to evaluate the revenue impact of deferred revenue, and a whopping 92% of public companies say they still use spreadsheets for critical revenue-accounting tasks, leaving them exposed to a host of issues including compliance, audit and forecasting problems. http://www.compliancehome.com/whitepapers/SOX/abstract11876.html Tue, 09 Mar 2010 00:00:00 CST http://www.compliancehome.com/whitepapers/SOX/abstract11875.html Redwood Software uses its unique combination of process automation and information management technologies to provide practical solutions for sustainable compliance that also deliver measurable business value.

IT can do everything in its power to secure the company's confidential documents--provide first-class security infrastructure, develop reasonable security policies and engage in extensive communication and training--yet still people fail to comply. The solution is to provide security that helps people do their jobs more efficiently, thereby inducing users to follow best security practices without even knowing it. http://www.compliancehome.com/whitepapers/SOX/abstract11836.html Mon, 01 Feb 2010 00:00:00 CST http://www.compliancehome.com/whitepapers/SOX/abstract11832.html One of the major challenges faced by the enterprise is the re-identification of de-identified data that leads to Data Disclosure.
