13. Sarbanes-Oxley Compliance Using The Hitachi ID Management Suite
7 Summary
As described in this document, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 introduces formal requirements for publi-
cally traded companies to implement strong internal controls, and for corporate officers to design, review
and sign off on those controls.
Internal controls imply information security, which in turn requires sound identity management practices.
The Hitachi ID identity management suite includes robust, secure, scalable and deployable technology to
implement these identity management processes. It secures processes including:
• User authentication.
• Definition of user authorizations.
• Periodic access certification, leading to executive assurance of current controls.
