SARBANES-OXLEY ACT (SOX)

Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires the CEO and CFO of publicly-traded companies in the U.S. to certify the effectiveness of their organization's internal controls as they relate to the accuracy of financial information.

Sarbanes-Oxley also requires that companies implement an internal control framework which includes implementing appropriate information technology tools and processes to ensure internal control. Thus, an effective and comprehensive security solution is essential for compliance with Sarbanes-Oxley.

Websense, with its superior web filtering and internet security capabilities, is uniquely positioned to help organizations comply with SOX.
