SecureGRC tool built for channel assumeslittle to no knowledge of PCI/HIPAA security and compliance rules.

Denver, CO -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/15/2011 -- eGestalt Technologies ( http://www.eGestalt.com ) last week announced version 11 of its HIPAA/HITECH and PCI risk assessment, auditing and remediation tool that meets security and compliance objectives for SMBs to large enterprises and that has been a boon to service providers and MSPs looking to find additional sources of revenuein the course of confirming and sustaining compliance mandates.

"During the course of taking a client through the steps of becoming HIPAA compliant ( http://www.egestalt.com/automated-hipaa-compliance-management.html ), the SecureGRC tool sniffs out revenue-making bundling opportunities like nothing else," says David Altizer, vice president of SOS Systems based in Memphis, Tenn., and an eGestalt partner.

"We invariably discover multiple areas that need our attention; we find our clients need written policies, they need endpoint security, they need Active Directory, and a host of other things that improves our perceived value and length of engagement."

SecureGRC SB™v11 is offered in two versions: Enterprise and Small Business editions. Partners will immediately realize the benefits of using SecureGRC's highly automated, scalable, and cost-effective security and compliance management solution complete with pre-audit and post-audit support, a real-time dashboard that offers multiple assessments, reviews and remediation: in short, a configurable policy-based risk model with real-time status that enables channel partners to deliver managed security and compliance services ( http://www.egestalt.com ) for SMBs to large enterprises.

Built from the ground up to profit the channel, SecureGRC offers ready-to-use, pre-packaged content such as policies which are continuously updated, a trove of best practices, and plenty of assessment questions that make it an easy step-by-step process to run the assessment and reach compliance, yet flexible enough to fully customize accordingly.

"Version 11 looks like it's going to be a lot easier to deploy, a lot easier to manage, and will let us grow a lot faster. It's a more intuitive user interface, and it's easier for us to manage our clients," said Altizer. "Every concern of ours has been addressed. That's a refreshing change of pace. We are looking forward to version 11 and already have two deployments scheduled for it."

Joe Dylewski, president of ATMP Solutions of southeastern Michigan, said, "Using eGestalt's tool, SecureGRC, we created a HIPAA/HITECH Business Associate Compliance Assessment, which conducts an accurate and thorough analysis of an organization's current compliance status. Thanks to our joint efforts with eGestalt, we can offer our customers a comprehensive solution that quickly and cost-effectively enables governance, risk management ( http://www.egestalt.com/governance-risk-and-compliance.html ) and compliance. We hope to sell 100 engagements of SecureGRC by year end."

Reflecting on the significant improvements to Version 11, Jim Hare, eGestalt channel chief,said, "Version 11has truly demystified the complexity of solving the compliance problem. It is completely channel-centric. Partners can useit to manage theirown sub-partners. A master dashboard allows users to capture the risk and compliance status of each client in a single view, this helps to quickly determine what needs to be done to complete the compliance process."

SecureGRC SB is targeted at small to medium businesses that are looking for an easy-to-use, cost-effective self-assessment based security and compliance solution.

Technology and Business model innovation enables adoption of IT-GRC solution by every Enterprise.

Santa Clara, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/04/2010 -- eGestalt Inc.

SecureGRC's on-demand cloud-based, "pay-as-you-grow" subscription service enables up to 10x reduction in total cost of ownership, which is ideal for cost-conscious small and mid-size organizations.

The combined security monitoring and IT-GRC solution provides automation and integration of policy controls in a ready-to-use framework that includes context-based inference engines, alert processing, logging and monitoring.

"A general problem that many companies have with regard to security and IT-GRC is that they have too many disparate point solutions that are too hard to manage and that fail to provide a holistic view of an organization's security and compliance posture," according to Brian Musthaler, Principal Consultant at Essential Solutions Corporation. "eGestalt's SecureGRC solution provides the aggregation of information so that a company can see, in near real-time, what its overall profile is. This allows the company to focus its efforts on mitigating risks to the organization. And with this being a cloud-based solution, even small to medium-sized organizations can get the benefit of enhanced security and IT-GRC without making a large capital investment."

SecureGRC comprises the following ready-to-use compliance control kits: PCI-DSS 1.2, ISO 27001/27002, Cobit, Sarbanes Oxley (SOX), HIPAA, Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA), and other country specific frameworks that are ready to use out-of-the-box. Forthcoming is support for: BASEL II and FISMA.

The key differentiators for the SecureGRC solution are as follows:

* Advanced business risk management - by unifying risks through non-compliance and effective security monitoring
* Scalable and extensible framework - can be customized to enterprise-specific needs with built-in support for a large number of regulatory frameworks
* "Pay as you Grow" consumption model - Delivered via a cloud-based SaaS offering
* Dramatic reduction in TCO: Up to 10x reduction in TCO, better economics than any other available solution

eGestalt Co-Founder and President Anupam Sahai said, "SecureGRC is the world's first truly leading integrated IT compliance and security management solution for enterprises. Using a patent-pending solution, this unique approach to unifying information security and IT-GRC will lead to better compliance policy implementation since the monitoring and vulnerability analysis tools provide an unprecedented fine-grained view into the vulnerabilities that exist in the enterprise and helps in effective threat detection and business risk estimation, simplifying regulatory compliance."
