Sarbox Compliance
The appropriately named Sarbanes-Oxley Compliance Toolkit includes a whole range of materials specifically put together to both introduce, and take you through this most important of legislation.

For detailed information see the toolkit's own website: Sarbanes-Oxley Compliance


SOX Act and Security
As security is such a major theme on the Act, many organizations are using the international ISO standards. The ISO 27001 Portal outlines these. A copy of the standards, and security policies, can be obtained via the ISO 17799 Toolkit.

The SOX email storage requirements can be fulfilled using the GFI MailArchiver

An observation I've made is that many of the questions on this site seem to stem from a basic lack of knowledge of what SOx is (and isn't). I thought it might be useful to provide a few links to excellent sources of information:

PwC: Several white papers and links to other information from here:

pwc.com/extweb/newcoatwork.nsf/docid/D0D7F79003C6D64485256CF30074D66C

Protiviti: There are 4 PDFs to download from here including an excellent guide to S404 and also one for S302

protiviti.com/portal/site/pro-us/?epi_menuItemID=01755c4818dc3153390235a4f5ffbfa0&epi_menuID=2edbcb16ec30def250d64810a7cebfa0&epi_baseMenuID=e895a64d2cd7bc72af03a975a7cebfa0

COSO: Not as useful a site as one would hope, but nevertheless it is the model we're all using.

coso.org

ISACA: Unfortunately you don't get access to the entire CobIT framework without buying it, but there are a number of useful links here. Pay particular attention to the IT Control Objectives for Sarbanes-Oxley which is a very useful paper that maps the CobIT objectives to COSO.
