SOX IT Controls,
Evidence Auditors Trust.

Support SOX IT general controls with centrally controlled access, logged changes and recorded sessions for your financial systems, delivered by Altanora.

Talk to an ExpertHow Citrix Maps to ITGCs

How Does Citrix Support SOX Compliance?

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires public companies to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting. Auditors test IT general controls (ITGCs) such as access to programs and data, change management and computer operations. Publishing financial applications through Citrix creates one controlled, logged path to those systems, which makes access reviews, segregation of duties and evidence collection simpler.

Citrix doesn't make you SOX compliant on its own. It gives your auditors clear, consistent evidence for the controls they test.
