SOX ITGC + AI Overlay: The Future of Audit, Risk & Cybersecurity

What if your controls are compliant… but still vulnerable?

In today’s rapidly evolving threat landscape, traditional SOX IT General Controls (ITGCs) are no longer enough. Cybercriminals are now leveraging Artificial Intelligence to bypass controls, mimic users, manipulate systems, and execute attacks at machine speed.

SOX ITGC + AI Overlay is your definitive guide to understanding—and defending against—this new generation of risk.

Written by seasoned cybersecurity and GRC expert Mervin Phillip Martin, Jr., this book bridges the critical gap between compliance and real-world security, equipping professionals with the tools, frameworks, and insights needed to stay ahead of AI-driven threats.

Inside This Book, You’ll Discover:

✔ A complete breakdown of SOX ITGC domains enhanced with AI risk overlays

✔ How cybercriminals are using AI to exploit access controls, change management, and data integrity

✔ A detailed audit work program with step-by-step testing procedures

✔ A fully structured SOX Control Matrix with AI integration

✔ Practical strategies to strengthen controls against deepfakes, AI-generated code, and intelligent attacks

✔ Executive-level insights for aligning cybersecurity with financial compliance
