Enterprise-level encrypted USB sticks SafeXs help avoid data breaches

Tue, 07 Feb 2012 19:47:00 +0000

/EINPresswire.com/ IT Governance Ltd, the one stop-shop for information security and data protection compliance products, has reported that it now stocks the new generation encrypted USB sticks - SafeXs. For a limited time only customers will receive the SafeConsole Lite free if they purchase the SafeXs FIPS 197 USB Stick Silver Package here: www.itgovernance.co.uk/products/3662 .

Alan Calder, CEO of IT Governance, comments, "A large percentage of the data breaches we witness are caused by human errors. Imagine how many employees transfer data using portable devices and how many USB sticks get lost. In the period May 2010 - November 2011 we carried out an analysis of the data breach cases which led to the UK's Information Commissioner extracting an undertaking from the organisation concerned. From 85 cases, 16 cases accounted for lost unencrypted lap tops (18,8%) and 22 case for lost unencrypted USB sticks (25,9%)." (For further information see Alan's blog www.alancalderitgovernanceblog.com/2011/11/analysis-of-information-commissioner-cases/)

"Non-secure devices should be blocked altogether." continues Calder. "Any company that doesn't do this is in risks of a data breach and can suffer heavy fines as a result. An enterprise-level secure USB stick, such as the SafeXs, by default, should be the only USB stick used within any organisation".

The SafeXs is an enterprise-level secure USB with encryption hardware. It is the preferred government and enterprise USB stick, and the one chosen by the UK's National Health Service (NHS), with over 1 million already in use.(www.itgovernance.co.uk/products/3662)

The SafeXs FIPS 197 USB Stick Silver Package is the ideal solution for small enterprises looking for a secure-USB solution all in one for an effective price. Customers who order the package now will receive a SafeConsoleLite licence for each of the sticks for one year for free, thus saving £150.

Organisations can order the SafeXs FIPS 197 USB Stick Silver Package online here: www.itgovernance.co.uk/products/3662 . Bulk volumes can be purchased directly from the friendly and helpful IT Governance service centre team on telephone number +44 (0)845 070 1750.

ISO20000 implementation boosts business by increasing customer satisfaction

Tue, 07 Feb 2012 19:46:47 +0000

/EINPresswire.com/ Those familiar with ISO/IEC 20000, the international IT Service Management standard, will agree that it aims to enable IT organisations to ensure that their IT service management processes are aligned with the needs of the business. Over the last year ISO20000 has gained momentum, with Virgin Media becoming the most recent blue chip company to achieve certification in November 2011.

Alan Calder, CEO of IT Governance, explains, "By going through the process of formal certification organisations automatically demonstrate to their prospective and existing customers a commitment to improved IT service management systems. In the current economic climate, customers are looking to cut costs and they are becoming more selective in terms of their providers. Implementing ISO20000 not only improves the processes and practices within an organisation, but it also reassures customers that the company is efficient, reliable and trustworthy. Organisations that are ISO/IEC 20000 certified can expect to see more repeat business due to improved customer experience."

The growing interest in ISO20000 implementation increases the need for organisations to take on board qualified practitioners who will be immediately effective in any ISO20000 project.

Calder continues, "As an established training provider we have seen a steady demand for ISO20000 Practitioner training in 2011. The driver for this appears to be the need for commercial organisations to ensure that they have implementation managers who fully understand the ISO20000 compliance process. Furthermore, companies are looking for qualifications from recognised examination bodies.

The ISO 20000 Practitioner Certificate Course is ideal for all IT(SM) practitioners who assist organisations in preparing for audit/certification to ISO20000. (www.itgovernance.co.uk/products/2134)

The three-day ISO 20000 Practitioner Certificate Course combines theory and practice in an engaging way. It covers the interpretation and application of the ISO20000 standard and enables delegates to develop the service management capability of an organisation and assess its readiness for certification. Delegates who pass the test at the end of the course are awarded an APMG-accredited ISO 20000 Practitioner Certificate. The next sitting takes place on 27-29 February in London. There are still a few places available at £100 off the standard price.(www.itgovernance.co.uk/products/2134)

Organisations can book delegates onto this course online: www.itgovernance.co.uk/products/2134. Course places can also be booked directly with the friendly, helpful IT Governance service centre team on telephone number +44 (0)845 070 1750. Larger organisations can make bookings or purchases with a purchase order, either by telephone or by e-mail, to servicecentre@itgovernance.co.uk.

Knowing the business and legal requirements important for achieving ISO27001 compliance

Tue, 07 Feb 2012 19:46:42 +0000

/EINPresswire.com/ Project managers responsible for implementing an ISO27001-compliant Information Security Management System (ISMS) know that there are five controls in ISO/IEC 27001 Annex A which impose specific requirements. According to these, organisations need to, first, identify and, second, stay up-to-date with statutory and regulatory requirements (Clause 4.2.1 b. 2).

Given that are over 70 information-related laws and statutes in force in the UK fulfilling the above requirements doesn't seem an easy task. IT and compliance managers face the problem of becoming familiar with the laws, identifying the ones they need to comply with and ensuring compliance with them.

IT Governance, the single-source provider for everything related to ISO27001 and information security, offers a product which comfortably addresses the above issues and provides effective and efficient solutions to project managers.

The ISO27001 Compliance Database and Update Service is the only product on the market that holds a repository of all the 71 statutes and regulations relevant to ISO27001. Updated for 2011, the ISO27001 Compliance Database includes 10 new laws and offers regular updates (depending on the subscription period) as and when new laws are published.(www.itgovernance.co.uk/products/3161)

The ISO 27001 Compliance Database and Update Service identifies the specific clauses within each legal instrument that organisations must comply with, providing best-practice guidance on how to comply with that clause. It also enables an ISMS project manager to select appropriate controls at the individual clause level.(www.itgovernance.co.uk/products/3161)

A video demonstrating how the ISO27001 Compliance Database and Update Service works is available online at www.itgovernance.co.uk/products/3161.

ISO27001 is the answer to cyber security, says IT Governance's CEO

Tue, 07 Feb 2012 19:46:33 +0000

/EINPresswire.com/ While the European Commission is tightening the data protection requirement and the UK and US Governments are shaping their cyber security strategies, organisations should be taking all the necessary measures to ensure their information is secure.

Alan Calder, CEO of IT Governance, says, "If you want a single solution to cyber security, you have to think ISO27001. ISO27001 is the international information security standard providing guidance for developing an information security management system (ISMS) that takes into account business and legal or regulatory requirements and contractual security obligations. If it is understood and implemented correctly, ISO27001 can serve as the most powerful weapon against cyber crime."

"A cyber breach can lead to a cyber storm of destruction of corporate reputation and regulatory punishment. Shareholders are likely to take action for negligence." continues Calder. "Moreover, organisations will have to reckon with the cost of compensation to customers and everyone else affected. They will have to pay the cost of remediation and put in place the systems that they should have had there in the first place. And if they have had them they wouldn't have to pay the high price for the rest.

"Therefore, ISO27001 certification is increasingly adopted as best-practice information security management by larger organisations and governments around the world. ISO27001-compliance can give organisations and their employees a piece of mind, and it sends a very positive message to their shareholders and customers."

Obtaining an ISO/IEC 27001 certification, like other ISO management system certifications, usually involves a three-stage audit process:

• Stage 1 is a preliminary, informal review of the information system management system (ISMS).
• Stage 2 is a more detailed and formal compliance audit, independently testing the ISMS against the requirements specified in ISO/IEC 27001.
• Stage 3 involves follow-up reviews or audits to confirm that the organisation remains in compliance with the standard.

The ISO/IEC 27001 consultancy service provided by IT Governance (www.itgovernance.co.uk/iso27001_consultancy.aspx) uses methodologies and tools that have been developed and honed over 10 years, ever since the company's CEO Alan Calder and Steve Watkins, Director at IT Governance, led the world's first successful certification to BS7799, the forerunner of ISO 27001. IT Governance has supported in excess of 100 clients from various sectors through successful ISO27001 certification projects.

IT Governance also provides an ISO27001 Feasibility and Gap analysis consultancy service which is essential for anyone considering implementing an ISO 27001 project.(www.itgovernance.co.uk/ISO27001-feasibility-and-gap-analysis-service.aspx)

You can also e-mail IT Governance at servicecentre@itgovernance.co.uk or telephone + 44 845 070 1750 to find out, free of obligation, what would be involved in achieving ISO27001 certification for your organisation.

General Telecom Launches Private Label Communications as a Service (CaaS) Initiative

Thu, 02 Feb 2012 14:05:03 +0000

/EINPresswire.com/IT EXPO East Miami, Fl - BUSINESS WIRE - February 2, 2012: As a premier provider of outsourced telecom solutions to carriers around the world since 1991, General Telecom today announced the immediate availability of its Full Service VoIP Concierge Partner Program, a cost effective, scalable, private label CaaS enabling solution designed to allow businesses of any size to quickly and inexpensively enter the market and set up a turnkey VoIP company.

The white label VoIP partner program builds on General Telecom's experience in building and operating carrier grade networks along with managing hosted services and applications. Unlike other partner programs, where the partner does not own the relationship, General Telecom's program allows VARS, interconnects, ISPs, system integrators and other non-traditional service providers to sell hosted IP-PBX and SIP services under their own brand with a simple, scalable, future proof solution, without the infrastructure complexities associated with becoming an Internet Telephony Service Provider.

"Owning the customer means our partners can build customized solutions under their own brand, set price points based on customer requirements, and bill customers directly. This will significantly increase value and ARPU. The private label VoIP offering is targeted at providers preferring to focus on selling services rather than managing the operational complexities of being a telecom provider." says Kent Terpe, VP, Channels & Alliances.

General Telecom's competitive advantage is the company's ability to provide a bundled suite of solutions aimed at dramatically reducing overhead and operational complexities, while simplifying day-to-day operations. The company's Full Service VoIP Concierge service offers a scalable and future proof solution with the reliability of a carrier class network that includes robust telephony features, branded customer and management portals, a nationwide footprint, DIDs, E-911, end user billing, comprehensive training and superb customer support.

The company's CaaS platform is built on years of experience, processes, systems and tools, all proven over time to offer comprehensive cloud-based solutions. Resellers can sell SIP and unified communication services without an expensive and redundant infrastructure. With General Telecom's private label hosted PBX initiative, companies can enter the VoIP market with minor up-front investment, brand the VoIP service as their own and add hosted IP-PBX services to their core product portfolio thereby creating new and incremental revenue streams.

Ecommerce Experts Bird and Co Creative Warn Many Businesses Risk Losing Out in the Online Sales War

Thu, 02 Feb 2012 06:28:26 +0000

/EINPresswire.com/ Ecommerce experts Bird and Co Creative warn that many small businesses risk losing out in the sales war, if they fail to build a significant online sales channel. Recent sales figures have shown that many retailers, including ASOS, John Lewis, and NEXT, reported record online sales during the festive period

Ecommerce experts Bird and Co Creative have warned that many small businesses could face the same fate as Woolworths and Peacocks if they fail to secure online business. In the wake of NEXT's much publicised reduction in bricks-and-mortar sales, the digital agency recommends implementing a clear online marketing and ecommerce strategy.

Gone are the days when people would peruse the High Street for hours at their leisure. With online shopping growing in popularity amongst busy professionals, businesses who fail to best utilise their websites run the risk of being left behind.

Online Marketing Manager Paul Ajao says: "We are seeing many small businesses that have a website, but the site is not optimised to sell online. Today's consumers are not just comparison shopping online - they are sitting with credit cards at the ready. Now is the time for businesses to take advantage of this trend"

Last Christmas provided an insight into the continuing importance of online sales. John Lewis reported an online sales jump of 27.9% year on year for the five weeks to 31st December, contributing to total sales of £596m. Whilst NEXT's online sales were up 16.9% year on year for the same period, compared to a 2.7% sales fall for its retail stores.

Other stores such as High Street giant Argos reported an 8.8% fall in sales in the 18 weeks until Christmas. Mothercare also saw sales in their High Street stores fall by 3%. These shocking figures paint a bleak picture for UK stores.

To avoid falling into this trap, Paul makes a few recommendations: "Websites today need to be simple for clients to use and work on a variety of mobile devices such as iPads and smart phones. Installing sophisticated tracking can also help online store owners see exactly which marketing initiatives are producing profits and which are failing to get a return."

In order to achieve increased online sales in 2012 and avoid the fate of numerous High Street chains, businesses should contact ecommerce web design experts Bird and Co Creative today to plan effective online marketing strategy - www.birdandcocreative.co.uk.

Intronix Technologies Obtains FDA 510(k) Clearance For Myoguide™ System

Tue, 31 Jan 2012 15:39:42 +0000

Intronix has won US regulatory clearance for its Myoguide device with support from Emergo Group

/EINPresswire.com/Intronix Technologies Corporation, a Bolton, Ontario-based medical technology developer, has been granted 510(k) clearance by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for its Myoguide injection site targeting system.

A hand-held, battery-operated device, Myoguide functions by amplifying electrical activity generated by patients' muscles and providing audio feedback to clinicians to more effectively locate areas of muscle activity and better select injection sites. The device can help in treatments such as pain management, movement disorder treatment and cosmetic procedures.

Intronix's FDA 510(k) application process was supported by Emergo Group, a medical device regulatory consulting firm headquartered in Austin, Texas. Dr. Evan Friedman, President at Intronix, explains the process of selecting third-party assistance to navigate the 510(k) process.

"As this was our first FDA 510(k), we were looking for a company that had knowledge dealing with the FDA and could also serve as our regulatory representative in Europe and the US," says Friedman. "Emergo Group was a great fit for us because we plan to expand into other international markets in the future and they have offices in all the markets we plan to enter."

Once Intronix partnered with Emergo Group, the consulting firm prepared all 510(k) application materials based on the manufacturer's technical information. Then Intronix reviewed and edited the application prior to submission to the FDA.

"For companies such as Intronix going through the FDA 510(k) process for the first time, the process can often prove more complex and challenging than in other markets," says Richard Vincins, Vice President of Quality Assurance Consulting at Emergo Group. "By leveraging our regulatory expertise to win FDA clearance, Intronix can focus on product development and marketing in the US."
