SOX database audit trails,
Section 404 evidence, automated.
Sections 302 and 404 make your executives certify controls over financial data, and Section 103 wants seven years of records behind them. DB Audit produces the tamper-evident trail and ITGC evidence — without a quarter of manual screenshotting.
What SOX requires, and how DB Audit answers
U.S. federal law mandating internal controls and audit trails for financial reporting systems in publicly traded companies. Criminal penalties for executives who certify false statements.
| The mandate | How DB Audit satisfies it |
|---|---|
Section 302 Corporate Responsibility CEO and CFO MUST personally certify financial reports. REQUIRES verifiable audit trails proving data integrity. | A verifiable per-change audit trail sits behind every number your executives certify — who changed what, when, and from where. |
Section 404 Internal Controls Companies MUST assess and report on internal control effectiveness. REQUIRES documented evidence of controls over financial data. | Control evidence is documented and collected continuously, not assembled by hand each quarter. |
Section 802 Criminal Penalties Knowingly altering or destroying records is a federal crime. REQUIRES tamper-evident audit logging. | Tamper-evident logging means altered or destroyed records are detectable, not deniable. |
Section 103 Audit Documentation Audit records MUST be retained for 7 years. REQUIRES long-term, immutable log storage. | Seven-year immutable retention is a policy setting, not a storage project. |

Common questions, answered
Can DB Audit produce evidence our external auditors will accept?
Yes. The SOX audit evidence report packages a tamper-evident trail of changes to financial data, privileged-user activity, and schema changes — the ITGC evidence auditors ask for, generated instead of assembled.
Does retention really cover seven years?
Yes. Retention is configurable per policy, and seven-year immutable storage for SOX-scoped systems is a supported configuration, not a custom build.
What about DBA and privileged-user activity?
Privileged-user monitoring is a built-in policy template. Every DBA and admin action against financial systems is captured, and DDL changes to financial database objects raise immediate alerts.
