SOX Compliance with
Scalefield Secure

Meet Sarbanes-Oxley Act requirements with tamper-proof audit trails, segregation of duties, and long-term archival in open formats.

What It Requires

SOX Section 302 and 404 require internal controls over financial reporting, including access controls, audit trails, and change management for systems that process financial data. Audit records must be retained for at least 7 years and be available for independent verification.

SOX compliance overview

How Scalefield Addresses It

Tamper-Proof Audit Trail

WAL-embedded checksums create a forensically verifiable record that cannot be altered by administrators, satisfying SOX requirements for reliable internal controls.

7+ Year Archive Retention

Parquet-based archiving stores audit data efficiently for 7 years or more, with compression ratios of 8-12x keeping storage costs manageable over the full retention window.

Segregation of Duties

Database administrators cannot view, modify, or delete audit data. The collection pipeline physically separates compliance records from normal database operations.

Audit-Ready Reports

Generate reports with complete traceability chains showing who accessed what data, when, and from where — ready for external auditor review.
