Understanding Sarbanes Oxley - Utilizing Vulnerability Management Solutions to Ensure Regulatory Compliance (pdf)

The term Regulatory Compliance is frequently seen in use by technology vendors in attempts to capture mindshare and generate software sales and consulting dollars. Organizations should be cautious when choosing products that make assertions of ensuring compliance, as no software product, hardware device, or professional service can guarantee compliance on its own. Judging your state of compliance is the job of the auditors, and only they can provide certification. However, many software products can be used to help build and maintain a compliant infrastructure that will not appease auditors, but also aid in increasing the security, reliability and performance of your information systems.
