Building Sustainable Compliance through Control

Featured Analyst Firm

Abstract

Sarbanes-Oxley and other government and industry regulations have turned up the heat on executives to ensure that business processes are validated and accurate. This increased pressure has impacted everything from operations and financial reporting to information technology management.

The impact on IT has been especially significant, because it has been costly for companies to validate their IT systems are doing exactly what they are supposed to do and nothing else. To date, the solution for this problem has been to periodically monitor the state of critical servers and try to identify changes made to them. This reactive approach then calls for the remediation of any unauthorized or unintended changes. While this solution has satisfied auditors, the cost is outrageously high, because so much of the process is manual.

Leading companies are beginning to address this cost by leveraging technology to enforce closed loop change management processes that automatically correlate and reconcile approved changes with deployed changes. Only once this is in place can companies achieve compliance sustainability. This webinar will explore the path towards compliance sustainability and the technology that is enabling it.

By attending this webinar you will learn:

• How to select controls that are appropriate for your environment
• How to identify where your organization is on the risk management maturity curve
• The importance of closed loop change control to help meet audit requirements consistently and sustainably
• How to achieve closed loop change control in an automated and cost-efficient manner
