The IBM® Rational® regulatory compliance solution provides a scalable platform to help your software or systems development organization manage compliance with standards, policies, and regulatory mandates, such as Sarbanes Oxley*, that are often explicit about penalties, but unclear about implementation and documentation requirements.
Rational regulatory compliance solution can help your organization to:
Establish a compliance-aware development process
Automate enforcement of your process
Automate the generation of audit documentation
Using a scalable approach, you can start small with focused pilot solutions that meet specific urgent needs and that expand your solution at the pace that makes sense for you. Where you should start depends upon how you scope your compliance challenges.
| What is your role? | Typical challenges |
|---|---|
| Best practices architect, IT methodologist, process engineer, or IT risk officer or analyst | Reducing risk by establishing a compliance-aware software development process |
| Software or systems development executive | Providing executive oversight of my development organization's compliance management projects |
| Software or systems development manager | Helping my development team pass an audit without a lot of manual overhead |
