SOX/J-SOX regulations have had an immensely burdensome impact on IT organizations because of complex, costly, confusing and often ambiguous requirements of Section 404. While many companies assumed that the cost of compliance would decrease over time, many are finding that the opposite is in fact true. In particular, many companies are struggling with: 

• Understanding SOX – the sheer volume of requirements and interpretations alone make understanding SOX Section 404 a challenge
• Determining specific requirements – interpreting requirements because while the SOX Section 404 requirements have been interpreted via COBIT, ISO and others, many of these interpretations are changing over time, forcing organizations to keep up with modifications
• Creating a control architecture - creating a centralized set of policies and controls that ensure and prove compliance with current and changing SOX requirements
