US Congress passed the Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) Act in 2002. The SOX Act sought to improve the accuracy and reliability of internal controls on financial reporting and security in publicly traded companies.

The basic rules underpinning SOX compliance are keeping data secure, tracking attempted security breaches, keeping detailed event logs for audit, and providing auditors with proof of compliance over a 90-day period.

The SOX Act stipulates that IT departments must be familiar with security measures and reporting standards to ensure the safety and reliability of data in public entities.
