The security world is constantly evolving and what may have worked to secure your organization yesterday may no longer be effective today. In this ever changing environment, how can you be sure that your private data and intellectual property is safe and secure? Additionally, is your organization in compliance with the law? Many of these rules and regulations continue to change frequently causing organizations to struggle with this along with best practices, frameworks, and other compliance drivers. There are often overlapping requirements leading to redundant and ambiguous controls that may not provide appropriate levels of either security or compliance.

In general, compliance means conforming to a specification or policy, standard or law that has been clearly defined. In recent years, these regulations have been put into place in response to ongoing corporate scandal (Sarbanes-Oxley) and to protect vulnerable data due to the phenomenal increase in electronic data usage and storage (HIPPA, PCI Data Security Standard). Unfortunately, keeping up with these AND adhering to them is an ongoing issue for most organizations.

Crystal IT's Avert CDLS promotes adherence to these compliance regulations and SEC regulations, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, PIPEDA, state data privacy laws (California Senate Bill 1386,) U.S. federal employment standards, Safe Harbor Act, UK Data Protection Act, and the EU Data Protection Directive. Avert CDLS secures all intellectual property including strategies, business plans, financial information, marketing initiatives, plans for product development, and proprietary data such as employee information and sensitive customer data such as credit card numbers, social security numbers, names, addresses, account information, and other confidential records.
