SOX ITGC

Overview

What is SOX ITGC?

Who it applies to

US public companies and their auditors. IT general controls matter here only insofar as they support the integrity of financial reporting, which narrows the scope considerably.

How the standard is organised

Not a published control catalogue but a body of practice around access to programs and data, change management, development and operations, assessed as part of the financial statement audit.

Framework names, marks and abbreviations (ISO, SOC 2, PCI DSS, TISAX, HIPAA, GDPR and others) are trademarks of their respective standards bodies and are used here only to describe what the Bitkosh Compliance Management Platform helps you track and prepare for. The badges shown are original Bitkosh artwork, not the official marks. Bitkosh Technologies is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by ISO, AICPA, the PCI Security Standards Council, ENX/VDA, or any other framework owner, and using this platform does not by itself confer or guarantee certification — certification/attestation is granted only by the relevant accredited third-party body.

On the platform

SOX ITGC on the Bitkosh platform

The 50 SOX ITGC controls sit in one workspace, evidence is collected from the systems you already run, and shared controls satisfy the equivalent requirement in the other 34 frameworks at the same time — so a second framework costs a fraction of the first.
