Prevalent Networks Launches Prevalent Compliance as a Service

WARREN, N.J., Dec. 17, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Prevalent Networks, a leader in information security and regulatory compliance solutions, today launched Prevalent Compliance as a Service (PCaaS), a cloud-based services delivery platform and managed service for Symantec Control Compliance Suite (CCS). Prevalent is also introducing its Cloud Service Aggregation Platform for integration of Prevalent managed and cloud delivered services with third-party services such as Symantec Managed Security Services.

The initial launch of Prevalent Compliance as a Service (PCaaS) includes:

Policy Compliance Service (PCS)

This solution ties the power of Prevalent Policy Portal and Symantec Control Compliance Suite Policy Manager to Prevalent's Cloud Service Aggregation Platform. The service offers clients full policy lifecycle management including cloud-based policy compliance. This service is deployed for end user policy management at PolicyPortal.com.

Procedural Assessment Service (PAS)

The Prevalent Assessment Service ties Symantec Control Compliance Suite Response Assessment Manager to Prevalent's Cloud Service Aggregation Platform. The service offers enterprise clients the ability to easily deploy both out-of-the-box as well as customized response assessment questionnaires for:

• Risk Assessment
• Procedural Controls Management
• Security Awareness Effectiveness
• And Testing on Computer Based Training

[Fortify] Managed Compliance

[Fortify] Compliance offers a hybrid cloud/on-premise management solution for Symantec CCS Standards Manager for those clients that have already invested in on-premise equipment and licensing; or would prefer to keep portions of the environment in-house. The service can be purchased stand-alone or as an add-on to Prevalent's Policy Compliance Service or Prevalent Assessment Service.

"In the past, customers would buy and integrate all these pieces separately and be responsible for the maintenance and monitoring of their infrastructure. By using the cloud to deliver these solutions as PCaaS, we can offer our expertise, Symantec's proven technology, and save customers time, money, and resources," said Jonathan Dambrot, a Managing Director at Prevalent Networks.

By offering these key compliance solutions as a full suite or a la carte via the cloud, firms can easily, efficiently and cost effectively deploy, manage and ensure they meet or exceed regulatory compliance requirements, Dambrot said.

"We are excited to be expanding our business to leverage the power of the cloud," said Norman Menz, Managing Director, Consulting, with Prevalent. "By combining Prevalent Policy Portal, response assessment and standards management, we bring a full suite of regulatory compliance solutions for customers that is easy to deploy and manage at an affordable, predictable monthly cost," Menz said.
