Golfsmith International Selects SunView ChangeGear to Help Comply with PCI and SOX Regulations
Change Management software eases the compliance burden by establishing IT controls and simplifying audit reporting
TAMPA, Fla., April 19, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- SunView Software is proud to announce that Golfsmith International Holdings, Inc., a publicly-held retailer of golf and tennis equipment, apparel and accessories, has selected SunView Software's ChangeGear as their change management solution. Golfsmith replaced their existing change management solution with ChangeGear to gain best-of-breed change control functionality and to assist with PCI and SOX compliance auditing.
"We chose ChangeGear because we needed a robust change control software to ensure that each change to our IT infrastructure follows our company's processes and policies," said Michael Henderson, Director of IS Operations at Golfsmith International. "Implementing ChangeGear will help us with our compliance initiatives by allowing our staff to maintain the change tickets and approvals within our approved PCI and SOX policy workflow."
Similar to Golfsmith International, many companies must comply with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (SOX). These regulations require organizations to put IT controls in place and demonstrate their ability to protect financial information, safeguard confidential customer data, secure their IT infrastructure, and ensure data integrity.
While IT organizations devise policies and procedures to ensure the integrity of their systems, many turn to automated change control software like ChangeGear. ChangeGear enables companies to meet the key provisions of today's tough regulations that require change control, security, and configuration management initiatives. The time and effort put into creating auditable reports can become expensive so ChangeGear provides the automated processes, audit history, and pre-defined reporting to reduce cost and complexity.
Because ChangeGear automates, manages, and tracks change on critical components of an IT infrastructure, organizations can control all aspects of the change lifecycle and prevent unauthorized changes from being made to files on servers, systems, and applications. Unauthorized change could result in failed compliance audits, security breaches, or unplanned network downtime.
"When it comes to change control initiatives, I am proud to say that ChangeGear is an industry-leading solution," said Seng Sun, CEO of SunView Software. "Most of our customers choose ChangeGear because we help them comply with regulatory requirements such as SOX, PCI, HIPAA, FISMA, NERC, and other regulatory measures that present challenges for today's businesses."
