Regulatory Compliance Solutions
Government and industry regulations like the EU Data Protection Directive, the EU Privacy and Electronic Communications Directive (DPEC), ISO 17799, Sarbanes-Oxley and BASEL II have created a greater need for organizations to control and secure access to applications and information, monitor business processes and ensure accurate financial reporting.
And step-by-step, as companies open their networks to outside parties - such as customers, partners, and suppliers - the traditional boundaries that separated trusted users from unwelcome ones are becoming harder to define, more difficult to manage, and easier to penetrate without authorisation.
Appropriate controls must be in place so that secure and well-managed access to business information wherever it lives is protected, trusted and ensured. Information-technology controls are needed to assure the reliability of automated systems used in the collection and reporting of financial information. These requirements cannot be accomplished without prudent use of technology and information security.
