Not Sure If You’re Compliant with Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) Regulations?
Organizations that do not comply and follow the regulations outlined by SOX are subject to some pretty tough penalties including jail time and hefty fines. More than sixteen years later, some organizations are still struggling to stay in compliance.
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) of 2002 and the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (Dodd-Frank Act) were designed to increase corporate responsibility by regulating the activities of all financial institutions. These laws require publicly-traded companies to manage disclosures and explain how customer data is protected, shared, and secured.
