whitepaper Risk Assessment in Sarbanes Oxley2005-08-30 03:00:02 Bright Mind Solutions
  Societal mandates for "sound management and honest financial reporting" resulted in governments imposing regulations forcing organizational leaders to make every effort to minimize reporting risks to their organizations. These regulations include the Basel II Accord, Sarbanes Oxley (SOX), HIPAA, and the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act. The Sarbanes Oxley regulation is considered by many to be one of the primary drivers of the adoption of ERM by organizations. Enterprise Risk management (ERM) properly implemented enables organizational management to effectively deal with uncertainty and associated risk and make an organization more valuable by creating a single view of all risks, internal and external, and an executive-level management strategy to deal with those risks.

whitepaper Helping Organizations Meet the Compliance Challenge2005-09-29 03:00:02
  The plan for security outlined in GLB requires organizations to implement a safeguard program and test and monitor this program regularly. Network security can provide a solution for the technical safeguard of GLB by offering reasonable protection of customers' sensitive personal and financial information. The DeepNines Integrated Security Architecture (ISA) secures critical and confidential network data by stopping hackers, worms, viruses, blended threats and other intrusions at the network edge, in front of the router or other critical infrastructure applications, while at the same time capturing every packet that enters and exits the network for complete forensics, reporting and analysis.   
whitepaper Using Models to Estimate Unbilled Energy2005-10-13 03:00:02
  Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley act implies that management is responsible for internal controls and procedures related to financial reporting and estimating and reporting unbilled revenue is one of these procedures. As a result, the methods used to estimate unbilled energy are being examined closely at many utilities. This paper summarizes alternative approaches to estimating unbilled energy. Two methods, one based on analysis on the monthly level and one based on analysis at the daily level are covered. Either method, if applied consistently to data that are aligned appropriately, will provide accurate and defensible estimates.
