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.
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 Sarbanes Oxley Act :: View topic - organize SOX in big company
Posted: Mon Jun 28, 2010 11:30 pm Post subject: organize SOX in big company
Hello,
I work as an organizational consultant for a large company with more than 10,000 workers.
I need to organize a SOX unit and wonder how does it organize in other large comapnies: is it a separate unit or department from the accounting department, is it a part of the accounting department (a small gruop in the department), etc...
How many workers should be in the SOX unit in a comapny like I am talking about?
At many companies, the SOX compliance team would be a group within the accounting department (e.g., reporting to the Controller) or a group within the internal audit department. In rare cases, it could report to risk management or even legal. As to numbers of personnel, that can vary widely among companies, and it depends on whether the SOX group performs monitoring and independent testing or simply performs the project management function for SOX compliance. Also depends on how much you rely on self assessments. Including internal audit staff, I would give a ballpark range of 4 - 8 personnel dedicated to SOX for a company your size - maybe more if you are very decentralized or geographically dispersed.
