The
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (sometimes referred to as
SOX) is a hot topic not only for CFOs but for CIOs and IT
departments too. If you are using DataFlo, chances are you will be affected by SOX and you need to know
that Section 404 requires management to establish and
maintain adequate internal control structures and procedures
for financial reporting. Unfortunately, the phrase "internal
controls" is not very clear or specific and IT may be asked
to implement or create these internal controls within your
system.
Kore's Sarbanes-Oxley
Suite has several
solutions to address the most common Sarbanes-Oxley
compliance challenges for DataFlo. These solutions can be implemented individually to address
specific problems or used together for a comprehensive solution.

Sarbanes-Oxley Suite
Software
Change Controls
Ensures
live software cannot be changed without
following your software testing and release
procedures, and the system will automatically
send notification e-mails when new software is
deployed.
Security and Process
Auditing
Tracks
changes to user’s security profile or the access
settings to a process. The tracking is done
regardless of how the change was made (i.e.,
EDITOR, DataFlo, 3rd Party
interface, etc.).
Secure TCL Environment
Kore Enhanced
TCL Command Processor provides the Select List,
Stacking, and Editing features of the standard
IBM U2 TCL processor, but also enforces full
Preview Process, File and Field level security.
System Access Reports
Provides 6 reports that
facilitate management of user security and
system access while providing reports to see who
CAN access to your DataFlo system and who IS
accessing the DataFlo system.
Special pricing available
for the complete Sarbanes-Oxley Suite.

Data Migration, Data Exchange, & Third Party Product
Integration
This is another area to
review for Sarbanes-Oxley compliance because it may
involve data manipulation outside the DataFlo financial
application (using exported data to
spreadsheets for financial reporting for example) or
importing data into DataFlo from another product or database.
Our
Kourier
product family is designed for integration and business
automation and can help you put controls around your data
and provide transaction logs for exported and imported
data.
Kore can also provide consulting services to help you
understand, document, and implement new processes or
procedures in areas of your business that require additional
internal controls for SOX compliance.
