SureCloud Launches Unified Compliance Platform
April 2012 by Emmanuelle Lamandé
SureCloud announced the SureCloud Unified Compliance Platform, a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solution aimed at mid-market organisations, which combines security point solutions to assess and monitor networks, applications and airwaves, with Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) process automation.
The SureCloud platform is a hybrid of solutions from GRC vendors on the one hand, and point solutions from information security vendors on the other, delivering real-time actionable intelligence.
The Unified Compliance Platform has three major functional areas, namely:
– Assessment and Monitoring with SIEM, vulnerability scanning, and network and wireless IDS capabilities (together or individually as required)
– GRC Process Automation covering areas such as vulnerability remediation, incident response, compliance auditing, user awareness training and vendor management
– Actionable Intelligence delivered through Alerts, Reports and Actions.
Each functional area has the core features required to meet compliance needs without the excess functionality found in enterprise point solutions.
