Redding, CA (1888PressRelease)
October 09, 2007 - The conference is being held on October 5, 2007 in Santa Clara , California . The conference will offer participants an array of tools and knowledge on critical IT-related issues including business continuity, disaster planning, risk assessment, audit planning and Sarbanes-Oxley compliance to help improve their organization's risk management and control processes.
Companies are managing increasingly complex IT systems and well-defined controls enable companies to identify and manage their IT related risks. Ability to manage and contain such risks is critical to ensuring business continuity as well as compliance with regulations and mandates such as Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOx), Gramm-Leach Bliley Act (GLBA), and Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).
"The IT auditing and compliance process is inherently complex as it involves multiple internal and external stakeholders. Existing audit infrastructures have evolved from the bottom up and organizations lack a single system of record preventing top down visibility and control," said Gaurav Kapoor, General Manager Marketing and CFO of MetricStream. "MetricStream's audit solutions are helping companies with a federated way of handling operational, financial and IT audits through a single system."
