The most important questions

a CFO or CIO must address

when considering the financial

outlay of deploying an identity

management system are:

• Is it worth the cost?




• Is it secure

and SOX compliant?




• Does it need to be?




The problem is that only

some companies fall under

SOX regulations




If however, the company

does find its self under

SOX regulations,




they had better find themselves

in compliance




Penalties are stringent

as are fines, with imprisonment

a real possibility




SOX Compliance




In order to consolidate

these disparate systems,

an identity and access

management suite is required




Point applications may

already be deployed

and working, such as

Oracle Identity Manager,

CA's SiteMinder & MS Forefront




While this be a cost effective

answer, it fragments security

and leaves gaps between

each vendor's solutions




Solution




In order to apply compliance

and regulatory rules,




a business requires

a suite of applications

tightly coupled by design




An example would be

Oracle Identity Management

Suite (OIM) that has integrated

applications that support all

functionality:




• Identity management




• Access management




• Auditing




• Compliance




• Alerts




Features




In order to fulfill

SOX requirements,




an identity and access

management solution (IAM)

must have tight integration and

be under one vendor umbrella




Having multiple vendor point

solutions such as CA SiteMinder

and Forefront will not suffice,




you need a suite of

applications such as Oracle

Identity Management (OIM)




Bottom Line




When considering an

identity management solution

for a business that is under

SOX regulations,




look for Oracle Identity

Management Suite

or another suite of applications,

perhaps IBM Tivoli




Avoid point products

under different vendors




Deploy a vendor suite of

applications to mitigate

the risk of fragmented security

and security gaps




How has your identity

management solution

helped you deal with

SOX compliance issues?
