“The partnership of Sayers and NSC really benefits customers who want to take a proactive and comprehensive approach to information security,” said John Kasser, VP, Internet and Security Solutions, for Sayers. “Whether a company needs to integrate a new security technology, audit parts of their existing security program, or build an entirely new information security program from the ground up, the Sayers/NSC team can provide all of the necessary resources.”
Together, the companies deliver industry-leading strategic capabilities in regulatory compliance management, policy development, risk assessment, security auditing, vulnerability and penetration testing, as well as tactical security infrastructure solutions such as remote access, endpoint security, firewall and IDS/IPS management and monitoring, and patch management.
The need for organizations to comply with a wide range of increasingly complex and overlapping federal, state, and industry-specific mandates and standards is mission-critical. To help companies formulate strong information security programs addressing these mandates, NSC created the Common Compliance Framework (CCF), a software tool and methodology that enables organizations to analyze, address, track, and manage the full range of these dynamic regulatory and industry forces. Using the CCF product, organizations proactively build and maintain a program tailored to their specific needs.
According to the Gartner Group, adoption of a comprehensive security and compliance architecture (e.g. CCF) should drive overall compliance savings of 50%, representing huge savings for regulated or publicly held businesses. Until now, though, CISO’s, CIO’s, CFO’s and other executives have been frustrated with the complexity of creating and managing such an architecture. NSC’s CCF solution makes this process straightforward!
Sayers is now offering NSC’s CCF software to its many clients, including the CCF on-demand solution for the complete management of information security across the enterprise
