Themis Software – enabling Regulatory Compliance

What type of Compliance are we talking about here?

Software Licensing Compliance. HIPPA. Sarbanes Oxley (SOX). COBIT


Themis Software – enabling Regulatory ComplianceWhat are they & what do they deliver?

Software Compliance (FAST & BSA) - Ensures that an organisation have purchased the appropriate/required license for what they have deployed on their IT estate.

HIPAA - Health Insurance Portability & Accountability Act - Enacted by the U.S. Congress in 1996 & became effective July 1, 1997. This act is a grouping of regulations that work to combat waste, fraud, and abuse in health care delivery & health insurance. Established to improve the effectiveness & efficiency of the health care system, portability & continuity of health insurance coverage in the group and individual markets, as well as the ability to provide consequences to those that do not apply with the regulations explicitly stated within the Act.

SOX - was signed into law on July 30, 2002 by President Bush. Sarbanes-Oxley is considered the most significant change to federal securities laws in the United States since the New Deal. It’s name comes from it’s inventors - Senator Paul Sarbanes & Representative Michael G. Oxley & came as result of a series of corporate financial scandals.

Knowing that ensuring the accuracy and integrity of a company’s financial data takes more than sound accounting practices, these Sarbanes-Oxley auditing firms are requiring that data security processes and practices be addressed before signing off on the SOX audit.

So what is being suggested by the SOX auditing firms? - In many cases, COBIT.


Themis Software – enabling Regulatory ComplianceWhat are they & what do they deliver?

COBIT - stands for Control Objectives for Information and related Technology has been developed by the Information Systems Audit and Control Foundation (ISACF) to address the need for management & control of information and information technology (IT).

Technology is a vital part of business processes and, as such, management needs to have an appreciation for and a basic understanding of the risks and constraints to IT.

COBIT looks at IT from the business perspective and places IT as part of the evaluation for meeting a business objective with the goal to identify how IT can best contribute to the achievement of the business objective. COBIT provides the process and structure that IT management can use to assess, manage and minimise risk across every aspect of an organisation.

************** Regulatory compliance is now a standard requisite within all G8 countries *******************

It’s importance to that department. It’s overall importance to the business as a whole. It’s effectiveness. How often it is used and for how long. Reliability. Security. Age Documentation Support
