Abstract	The Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX), enacted in 2002, aims to improve corporate accountability and protect investors from fraudulent financial practices. While initially focused on financial reporting, SOX compliance has significant implications for IT security, as technology systems and processes play a critical role in ensuring data integrity and access control. This essay explores the requirements of SOX as they pertain to IT security, the challenges organizations face in achieving compliance, and the broader impact of SOX on IT governance and security practices. It also discusses strategies for effective implementation, emphasizing risk management, continuous monitoring, and documentation.
