Net-Security Integrates McCann’s MSP into two Major Compliance Tests, Sarbanes-Oxley and Basel II

(Sept 18, 2007)-- McCann Associates, provider of online assessment tools for certification and testing, and Net-Security Training, a leading provider of instructor-led training and assessment for information security products and services, have teamed up to improve assessment methods on two major compliance tests, Sarbanes-Oxley and Basel II tests. Net-Security Training will utilize McCann’s Measured Success platform for online, secure delivery, scoring, and reporting of Net-Security Training assessments.

Measured Success is used by leading corporations, government and educational organizations, including General Electric-Microwave Data Systems and the American Board for Certification of Teacher Excellence.

“We are thrilled about our worldwide partnership with Net-Security Training,” says Paul Edelblut, Vice President of McCann Associates. “Our commitment to instant, accurate compliance testing is something we take very seriously, and we are excited about the opportunity to provide the financial services industry with a proven solution on a global scale.”

Measured Success is an affordable and effective solution for managing certification, training, and assessment needs from a single program, using as few or as many of the features they need. The program has eight main components:

* Item Authoring – Access the easy-to-use item authoring tool to create and organize your own multiple choice, short answer, and open-ended test questions.
* Test Creation – Use the test creator to prepare tests for academic use, certification exams, practice tests, pre-employment assessments, training surveys, and more.
* Test Delivery – Deliver tests securely online, and control testing options such as the number of times a test may be taken, timer, warning messages, random item delivery, test navigation rules, and score report display
* Scoring – Receive immediate, reliable scoring of multiple choice, short answer, and essay questions, set a passing score, and control the amount of feedback displayed. Link scores to action items, such as required reading, assignments, or certificate of completion.
* Reporting – Immediate access to individual reports, group performance reports, and item analysis reports, or customize your own report with specific data fields.
* Remediation – Use iSEEK™ discovery tool and the resource center to retrieve pertinent information for examinees.
* Data Management – Collect and manage your data with import and export tools, and organize your data in customized reports for easy access.
* Account Management – Create unlimited administrator and learner accounts as needed either individually or through batch import.

“As the demand for the Sarbanes-Oxley and Basel II certifications continues to grow worldwide, we made it our corporate mission to develop the most efficient, most accurate test scoring to compliment our rigorous, well-respected classes,” says Gareth Tichauer, President of Net-Security Training. “We researched about 20 companies that could take our paper tests online to improve turnaround time, and are pleased to have formed a long-term partnership with McCann Associates, which offered the most accurate and immediate test scoring.”
