The regulations laid out in the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) demand that organizations demonstrate the existence and implementation of controls that protect the integrity of financial reporting data and the systems on which that data resides. The key to passing SOX audits is ongoing compliance monitoring and remediation. That is why it is vital to incorporate Network Assurance into your compliance initiatives.

Lumeta’s Network Assurance solutions provide a complete view of network connectivity on an ongoing basis. With IPsonar, organizations can use this information to create a baseline and subsequent deltas that enable them to consistently monitor and demonstrate the alignment of policies and controls against network operation reality as the infrastructure evolves.

Lumeta’s Network Assurance solutions map clearly to key SOX topics such as:

• Risk assessment
  Visualize the entire infrastructure and the state of alignment between security policies and defenses to illustrate the effectiveness of internal controls.
• Risk response
  Pinpoint areas of risk from a network perspective and prioritize them for remediation.
• Monitoring
  Audit your overall security process with a network risk scorecard and take corrective action to continuously improve your company’s security posture.
• Information and communication
  Use executive summary risk scoring for communication to other parts of the organization.
