Legal Compliance
Ensure that you are meeting your legally required responsibilities by
securing your company’s most sensitive possession – your information.
With the recent introduction of Sarbanes Oxley regulations, designed to
enforce corporate accountability and responsibility, the onus to secure and
protect your company’s information is placed squarely on the shoulders of
your organisation and is no longer a choice but is a legal requirement.

- CoreCU conducts an analysis of the security vulnerability addressed
by the individual Critical Patch Update.
- The Patch is applied on a server which is running the version of
Oracle RDBMS that your organisation has applied at the time.
- The Patch is tested for integration with the version of the Oracle
RDBMS as well as the individual Core Core application(s) on site in your
organisation.
- Only when the patch has been fully tested will it be made available
for release to your organisation.
- All patch application is scheduled with the client to avoid disruption
to your business as much as possible.
- Guaranteed application of Critical Patch Updates within a specified
time frame from publication.
- Implementation of a pre-tested, assured patch confirming
compatibility with previous fixes and Core Core modules in place
- Planned Configuration Management: eliminating surprise patch
notifications requiring your organisation to apply the patch under
duress, or unpredictable schedules.
- Avoid “Blackout Dates”: avoid dates during which organisations will
not be available such as end of quarter, times when books are being
closed, etc.
- Lower aggregate costs in applying patches: One high quality patch
that fixes multiple high priority items and is well integrated and well
tested is applied rather than a number of one off patches that may
cause conflicts or repeated testing.
