Solutions - Compliance

One of the largest issues today’s corporations face is that of being able to execute, monitor, enforce and modify its IT strategic plans for not only compliance with governmental and corporate mandates and guidelines such as HIPPA, Sarbanes Oxley, FISMA and PCI but its own internal security and access policies. Hadrian understands not only the complexity of this issue but the amount of resources that must be committed to ensure its proper completion. Hadrian will implement a system that will allow for reporting of IT access policy, reporting of IT resource access by employee, and also provide reports on access policy change by employee. Hadrian even has the ability to generate a report that will outline your firms or organizations access policy by current use that can be used as the foundation for building your IT access policy. These reporting and audit tools in conjunction with the security features of the Hadrian solution provide the organization and its CIO the ability to immediately respond to a security audit or enquiry in the case of potential or actual data leakage within the organization.

The first step to a proactive security program is to embrace a management philosophy and strategy which ingrains security as a way of doing business versus an afterthought of doing business. A strong security program is a great business enabler as well. Once you have identified your critical business assets and have assessed their vulnerabilities, a proactive security plan can be developed which includes people, processes, and technology that meet your business objectives and resource requirements. In addition to risk assessment and asset protection, incident response, business continuity, and disaster recovery are key elements to help mitigate your overall business risk.
