Do We Need a Sarbanes-Oxley for The Internet?

Posted by Cliff on Monday April 25, 2005 @04:21AM from the more-regulation dept.

An anonymous reader asks: "Since 2002, corporate executives have been held accountable through the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) for their own internal IT security (with heavy fines and even prison terms when SOX isn't complied with) despite the fact that this level of accountability doesn't exist for some critical elements of the internet. Is it high time for industry to collaborate on a stringent security doctrine to hold organizations accountable for operating, providing and commercializing Internet service, in effect a Sarbanes-Oxley Act for the Internet?"
