Combines Business-Driven Content with Cis Technical Standards and
Frameworks Extending its robust IT security compliance product
portfolio, BindView Corp. (NASDAQ:BVEW) announced today the
availability of new regulatory compliance content for its flagship
Compliance Center product. Organizations are struggling to comply
with complex regulatory mandates, and the new report views provide
actionable IT security controls that are mapped directly to the
regulations. This unique mapping capability provides IT
professionals, business executives and their auditors with a single
view into their combined security compliance posture. The new
reports map regulatory mandates - including Sarbanes-Oxley, FISMA,
HIPAA, Basel II and GLBA - to the industry-accepted ISO 17799,
COBIT and NIST SP800-53 frameworks using the Center for Internet
Security's (CIS) Level-1 and Level-2 Benchmarks for the Windows and
LINUX operating systems. Platform coverage for the new regulatory
report views includes Windows, LINUX and Sun. Because no technical
standards exist for NetWare, BindView has created its own Security
Essentials Technical Standards for NetWare, based on its own long
history of securing Novell environments. "Regulatory mandates
require business executives, compliance officers and their IT
counterparts to implement auditable controls to help ensure
compliance due care," said BindView Senior Vice President of
Worldwide Marketing Steve Kahan. "Today, it is difficult for each
of these groups to communicate their respective requirements for
meeting compliance objectives. BindView's new Regulatory Report
Views address the scenario head-on. Now, these executives and their
auditors are able to view the organization's compliance posture
from the same information. Using the reports, companies gain
prescriptive guidance for making required corrections based on
established technical standards and frameworks." "The Center for
Internet Security helps organizations around the world effectively
manage security risks," said Clint Kreitner, president and CEO of
CIS. "Our benchmarks provide end users with proven methods and
tools to improve, measure, monitor and compare their security
status with widely respected configuration practices. BindView
recognizes the importance of technical standards and was the first
company to achieve compliance with the rigorous Level-2 Benchmarks
for the Windows 2000 Professional and Windows 2000 Server operating
systems." Availability BindView Regulatory Report Views are
available immediately. For more information, please visit:
