Verdasys has announced “the launch of its Data Governance Policy Packs (DG Policy Packs) for industry-specific data discovery, reporting and risk management. DG Policy Packs can be delivered as a Verdasys Professional Services engagement for enterprise customers, or instantly deployed to subscribers of Verdasys’ Managed Service for Information Protection (MSIP), the industry’s first fully-managed hosted service that delivers advanced information security without requiring any hardware, licensing, or staffing. DG Policy Packs are comprehensive solutions that integrate directly into Digital Guardian, the industry’s preeminent data protection technology platform. They are based on a decade of collective enterprise security experience and best practices, seasoned by engagements with hundreds of Verdasys customers worldwide.”
Craig Shumard, Principal at Shumard and Associates, a strategic security consulting company commented, “While serving as CISO for many years at a leading healthcare organization, and today as a consultant focused primarily on aligning security with the business to better defend against ever increasing threats, I have seen far too many organizations where the disconnect between security and the business is the basis for much of the data loss we see in the headlines, even today… Wherever I go across industries, I see security programs that struggle with operational control and reporting requirements that do not recognize the new and evolving threats or take a risk based approach to preventing it. As a complete set of data protection best practices that are based on successful programs and specialized by industry or threat, DG Policy Packs will jump-start an enterprise information protection project greatly reducing the threat of data loss.”
