ISM - IN CONTROL OF
IT SERVICE MANAGEMENT

The Sarbanes-Oxley act states that organizations that are listed on the stock exchange should be in control and guarantee the integrity of their information processes. SOx prescribes rules for controlling information. Those rules often apply to secondary suppliers as well. There are strict rules concerning financial reports. IT plays a vital role in these reports, since many listed companies use their own software for internal procedures and logistics.


One of the consequences of SOx is that an organization has to be able to proof that the software is properly managed. An organization implementing ISM can trust that their IT processes are ensured. Furthermore, you can easily see when your software has been updated, who has done it and why it has been done.
