Better Controls, Lower Compliance Costs
A major online
brokerage approached SecureIT to help it comply with
the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. In the prior year, the brokerage's
compliance efforts had been disjointed and expensive, with
little oversight from the program management office, and
were a source of frustration to personnel across the organization.
To maximize the value of our services, we leveraged our
experiences and knowledge gained working with other Fortune
500 customers. Working quickly and methodically, we organized a compliance
initiative for the organization — a
plan that not only resulted in SOX compliance certification,
but also delivered much more. We succeeded in standing up
a SOX Project Management Office for the client, streamlined compliance
initiatives, and ultimately reduced the overall cost of compliance.
Key
factors in our success were the use of structured project
management methodologies, effective project oversight, and
our unique ability to rapidly understand the organization
and identify areas where processes and functions could be made more efficient.
At the end of the project, the client was not only compliant with Sarbanes-Oxley,
but also benefited from a more efficient and cost-effective
organization.
