Taneja Group Identifies WysDM 4 as the "Ideal Platform for Data Protection Assurance"

(Dec 06, 2007)-- WysDM Software, provider of advanced data protection management (DPM) solutions, announced today that leading industry analyst firm the Taneja Group has identified WysDM 4 as the "ideal platform for data protection assurance" in a recent Solution Profile report titled "Is your data protection compliant? Delivering best practices with WysDM 4." The report reviews the operational issues created by compliance-driven data protection assurance requirements and highlights how the WysDM 4 solution's capabilities can satisfy an enterprise's data protection assurance needs. The report is available at http://wysdm.com/WysDM4_TanejaGroupSolutionProfile.html.

According to Arun Taneja, founder and consulting analyst, Taneja Group, "WysDM goes beyond pure compliance, giving an organization the right tools to comprehensively manage every aspect of data protection. Using WysDM, an organization can proactively manage data protection practices, and guarantee service levels and capabilities."

While the focus on data protection in regulations such as Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX), Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, Basel II, HIPAA, and others varies, ultimately they all require that enterprises ensure that their data is appropriately protected -- a task that can be costly and labor-intensive. In fact, the Taneja Group reports that it has identified cases in which up to 50 percent of IT staff time is occupied with compliance reporting.

The Solution Profile report outlines the key challenges in delivering data protection assurance and identifies the key features in WysDM 4 that "make it an ideal platform for data protection assurance."
