Agiliance-On-Demand for Mid-Tier Enterprises

Agiliance On-Demand is an IT Governance, Risk and Compliance management solution delivering lower ownership costs, rapid time to compliance and ease of deployment. Agiliance On-Demand features built-in libraries containing standards, regulations and frameworks to ensure compliance with regulations such as Sarbanes-Oxley, GLBA, Basel II; standards such as ISO 17799, ISO 27001 and NIST SP800; and frameworks such as CobiT and FFIEC.

Challenge

Regulators and Auditors are requiring mid-size and large corporations alike to comply with standards and regulations that pertain to their lines of business. Rules about safeguarding privacy and protecting personal financial information now apply equally to the mid-size enterprise and the multi-national conglomerate.
Mid-tier and large enterprises are faced with having to confront the complexities of IT risk and compliance management when following an ad hoc process. Manual assessment processes cannot scale effectively and are hard to manage. Analysts are burdened with not only collecting data manually, but having to analyze and report on it as well. In addition, tracking manual responses from external organizations and mapping them to industry standards, regulations and frameworks increases the complexity.

Solution

Agiliance On-Demand provides a simple but powerful risk management solution. Agiliance On-Demand delivers a powerful agent-less web-based application to automate the IT risk and compliance process for organizations, eliminating the need to deploy an application on-site. For the first time, mid-tier enterprises can deploy a robust IT Governance, Risk and Compliance management solution without a significant investment in the application platform.
