"IT Governance and audit are becoming more important in today's business landscape. This is evidenced by the increased number of security questionnaires and audit requests customers are requiring of their vendors. Businesses need the ability to turn how they handle these requests into a competitive advantage to be successful. This is where the Ostendio MyVCM platform excels, it allows companies the ability to efficiently meet their customers' needs," said Steve Thomas, Shareholder, Maloney + Novotny.

We look forward to working with these new clients and using Ostendio MyVCM to streamline the process."
Businesses who complete security certifications show their commitment to data security standards and regulations. Certifications, such as SOC 2, HITRUST and FedRAMP, are gaining in popularity as they set standards for compliance and show commitment to keeping customer data safe. Holding these certifications can give companies a competitive advantage as they demonstrate their business is organized and takes data security seriously. The awareness of the need for data privacy has also become more important with the introduction of government regulations such as GDPR in Europe and CCPA in California. By preparing for a data security audit, companies often discover where their weaknesses lie, and they can protect against data breaches happening in the future.
