Oversight Intros SOD

ATLANTA -- Oversight Systems Inc., the leading provider of continuous monitoring solutions, today announced the first risk-based platform for managing segregation of duties. Segregation of Duties (SoD) is an important component of preventing fraud as mandated by Sarbanes-Oxley. Oversight 4.0 effectively manages the risks of real-world SoDs and delivers information that drives business process improvement. This dual-duty investment transforms Sarbanes-Oxley expenses into business process improvement opportunities.

“Internal controls monitoring and automation is the second wave of SOX compliance software, which is rapidly gaining momentum,” states Paul Hamerman, vice president of research at Forrester Research. “Access control and SoD monitoring ensure that business users have appropriate application privileges and proper division of work, beyond what an ERP package provides. These solutions monitor user activity and apply predefined rules to detect potential violations, limiting opportunity for fraud.”[1]

Oversight Systems’ patent-pending real-time transaction inspection drives the compliance and operational improvement life cycle by enabling companies to:

“Compliance should drive profitability not diminish it, and increasingly organizations demand solutions that both deliver bottom-line benefits and satisfy Sarbanes-Oxley requirements,” Oversight Systems CEO Patrick Taylor said, “The Oversight 4.0 platform delivers a true risk-based analysis of SoDs and real-time evaluation of business process integrity. Our vision is to eliminate the compliance tax by providing real business value.”
