Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) Data Compliance

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) establishes strict requirements for the retention, control, and integrity of electronic records and financial transactions. SOX places responsibility on public companies and registered accounting firms to ensure the accuracy, reliability, and availability of financial information through strengthened records management, auditing, and reporting controls.

SOX Records Retention Requirements

Section 404 requires management to establish and maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting.
Section 802 mandates safeguards to prevent the falsification, destruction, or unauthorized alteration of financial records.
Sections 103 and 105 require that critical financial and audit records be retained for a minimum of seven (7) years.
