C is a good idea, but it's not the most effective. Vendors should have their own compliance processes, but the organization needs to focus on its own controls.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused. Manually tracking compliance seems like it could be really time-consuming. And I'm not sure how vendors' compliance processes would help optimize SOX controls internally.
