Compliance and Databases

Do you have any extra work these days as part of a "compliance" program at your company? It seems that some of the laws meant to protect us all end up generating nothing but revenue for compliance assistance firms and software.

You can certainly do everything manually, but it is a real pain. To fully implement a Sarbox or a HIPPA compliant system you almost always need extra software, and of course a lot of other processes and procedures, all documented of course. Ah well, at least it keeps us out of economic shenanigans...oops, maybe not. :)
