IF SOX Compliance Write-offs Were Allowed
you would see more spending on larger, holistic solutions. Instead, what we've seen thus far is SOX putting all of the financial burden of proof and compliance onto these same large companies, making sweeping changes additive to their expense line.
Now if the SEC would support incentives that would enable larger companies to spend their money on making infrstructure improvements that would enable better SOX compliance, then I'd think you see significant movement towards enterprise-wide (not incremental point-solutions) solutions.
Right now, it's still a major cross-organization buy-in issue, and as a result, is also a challenge to many coroprate cultures that tend to frown on enterprise-wide adoptions.
It's also expensive .....
