Businesses are subject to a number of laws including Sarbanes Oxley Act 2002, HIPAA, GLBA, privacy laws, SEC Rules, stock exchange regulations, etc. Among many other developments, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 is the most comprehensive congressional law for the field of securities regulation in more than 50 years and will forever impact the field of Corporate Governance.

Information Technology Governance

The rising interest in IT governance is partly due to compliance initiatives (e.g. Sarbanes-Oxley (USA) and Basel II (Europe)), as well as the realization that IT projects can easily get out of control and have profoundly affects on the performance of an organization. The information flow is the base of business process.

The primary goals for information technology governance are to assure that the investments in IT generate business value, and mitigate the risks that are associated with IT. Spry Control provides assistance in implementing an organizational structure with well-defined roles for the responsibility of information, business processes, applications, infrastructure, etc. Our IT governance supplements client initiatives in the following areas:
