CA Launches HIPAA Compliant GRC Manager

(Oct 06, 2007)-- CA, an IT management software company, unveiled a solution designed to enable IT organisations to achieve their governance, risk and compliance (GRC) objectives.

According to the company, the solution features CA GRC Manager, which provides portfolio management of IT risks across the enterprise, as well as CA's IT control automation solutions that automate IT controls for security, information, and change.

CA GRC Manager is reportedly the industry's only visual portfolio-based solution, which helps companies organise and prioritise how they will stay in compliance and be under acceptable risk thresholds for the least amount of labour. In addition, it includes project management capabilities to ensure that optimal remediation plans are produced, communication barriers are eliminated and IT compliance projects are executed effectively. The solution enables customers to map their IT risks and controls to specific legislative mandates, industry regulations and corporate policies.

In addition, the product includes the Unified Compliance Framework, which maps an 'out-of-the-box' set of more than 4,000 control objectives to 280 standards and regulations such as COBIT, COSO, NIST, ISO17799:2005, SOX, HIPAA, PCI and NERC.

CA also announced it is introducing the beta release of CA Security Vulnerability Manager (CA SVM), which helps organisations measure compliance and manage risk by identifying vulnerabilities in software and configuration settings, linking them to business assets and facilitating remedial action.
