Stronger SOX support from Stellent

Stellent has released a new version of its Sarbanes-Oxley Solution. Designed to help companies streamline their 404 and 302 processes for complying with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, Version 7.6 was designed with input on the Sarbanes-Oxley compliance process from Protiviti, with which Stellent holds a strategic integration and consulting agreement.

Stellent reports that additions to Version 7.6 include:

• enhanced master component library--provides the ability to store multiple libraries of controls, risks, assertions and attachments for centralized maintenance of shared components with local variances where needed;

• an improved process library--a set of processes that can be managed centrally while allowing local variances as necessary;

• internationalization--locale setting is available on the user's browser or can be overridden by determining a user preference (available languages include Dutch, French, German, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese and Spanish);

• selective control testing--allows auditors to select a set of controls that may span multiple processes, create tests to be performed at the local organizational level, and bring forward select information from previous test results for use within current tests;

• parallel testing by control owner--provides the ability to assign owners at the control level for managing control specific documentation and control owner assessments (parallel workflow streamlines the assessment process by distributing activities); and

• enhanced configuration administration tool--simplifies adding users, setting security, adding or changing field attributes and changing field labels.
