What's the meaning of SOD and SOX?


We received an e-mail saying that there are SOD an SOX restriction for a Production environment. Are there common terms?


Solution

  • The likely meaning (without knowing more about the situation) is that SoD means Separation of Duties and that SOX refers to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

    Doing some searching I noticed that you are more likely to find information about them using the compete terms rather than the abbreviations.

    Perhaps related: Does SOX restrict access to QA environments or just production?
