Sarbanes Oxley - Excuse or Abuse?
I work at a large national Advertising agency and have been having a battle with IT over trying to get certain services which nearly every large agency has.
The two services in question are:
1) FTP server
to transmit final print-ready files to vendors and to receive art from clients. No permanent or confidential assets are held
2) Font server
Most agencies have a server based font activation. Once set can be activated on multiple computers As it stand with us, fonts are copied to each machine. Not only is this inefficient if the font get corrupt, but this goes against most font usage agreements.
Problem:
Every time we ask for a particular service, our VP of IT says he cannot do it because of Sarbanes-Oxley violations.
If this is the case then every studio and agency in the United States is violating this. Not having these services costs us much time in lost productivity.
Anyone who is familiar with SOX guidelines and how they relate in this case, please help. I need to escalate this fight but need some ammo.
As far as I know having these are NOT violations of SOX guidelines as they put no assets in danger nor do they have anything to do with finance.
Thank you.
