It's an excuse to add more work, or do very little work at all...
"No, we can't do that it's not SOX-compliant..." "Yes, but we need a different person to do that step to be SOX-compliant..." The law only works on law-abiding citizens. |

I have a very low opinion of SOX. It's just another example of a very-expensive solution mandated by the government that doesn't actually address the underlying problem in any way. Documentation is no substitute for ethics.

It was a never mind because I already know the clients product is not compliant, it's actually what SOX is meant to prevent, but after morning coffee I remembered they are not asking me about that and given their pedigree they should certainly know better anyway so I'll do what they want done and bill them, up front of course cause they won't generate revenue off this turd to pay my invoices.
Disclaimer: had they disclosed the features up front I would have turned it down but I've got 60 hours into it and had to find the problems myself so yeah, someones gotta pay for that.

Read your OP earlier before the delete... Thought you were almost asking if said product should be part of the corporate image, etc.
Until local machine security is super secure and strict - no hotplugging and loading device drivers, no usable USB ports (fill 'em with glue), no CD/DVD drives, only authorized software on the system, a lot of default windows software removed, seriously locked down permissions (file security, no spawning command windows, etc), no way to get out to sites that aren't 100% in your control, etc. there will always be the potential for getting info in/out that shouldn't be allowed to get in/out.

Found it did something interesting and asked for more documentation, like, is this intentional or a bug. Internal docs that I received last night show the client filed a patent on the feature and actually thinks it's a USP.
