Overview

What This Engagement Covers

A comprehensive assessment tailored to your environment.

Sarbanes-Oxley Act Section 404 requires publicly traded companies to maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting. Our SOX IT security testing validates the technical controls protecting financial systems, databases, and reporting infrastructure from unauthorized access and manipulation.

Our Process

What We Test & How

What We Test

We assess IT general controls (ITGCs) including access management, change management, computer operations, and program development. Testing covers financial systems, ERP platforms, databases storing financial data, network infrastructure, and cloud environments supporting financial operations.

Our Approach

Our testing focuses on COSO framework alignment and PCAOB standards. We validate access controls on financial systems, test segregation of duties enforcement, assess change management processes, and evaluate the security of financial data in transit and at rest. Each finding maps to specific ITGC categories.
