Sarbanes-Oxley

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act has made corporate IT governance mandatory in financial reporting and operational control for publicly traded companies.

After the corporate fraud and scandals in recent years, shareholders and government are demanding accountability from all companies and organizations.

Sarbanes-Oxley requires companies to track document usage and quickly produce information on who has accessed them, and for how long. Shareholders, creditors and the SEC (Security and Exchange Commission) are demanding that public organizations comply to reporting standards or will face severe penalties.

MetriQ® and Sarbanes-Oxley

MetriQ has been designed with data integrity as one of its guiding lights.

• First, there is no stealth mode, meaning that users know at all times their work is being recorded. Keyboard and mouse movement are tracked but NEVER logged.
• Second, staff, unless granted specific administrative privileges, cannot edit or delete timing data or change their document usage data or workflow.
