Sapphire highlights Government Compliance with RuleSafe
London, UK – 21st July 2006 – Leading compliance software specialist Secoda Risk Management Ltd and UK Information Security provider Sapphire today announced a partnership to deliver advanced policy and compliance management using the RuleSafe policy system.
Under the agreement Sapphire will sell, support, and provide end-user customisation and training services around Secoda’s flagship product RuleSafe, which represents the most flexible and advanced third generation policy awareness solution.
The RuleSafe suite of web-based policy solutions provides organisations with a route to improving staff awareness and conformance to internal policies and procedures, as an essential step in achieving and measuring compliance with legal and regulatory rules. RuleSafe is the most flexible policy management solution in its class; quickly adapted to the organisation and its culture and reducing cost and complexity by presenting staff with the policies relevant to their function.
“We at Sapphire are proud to be one of the UK’s only independent Information Security consultancy to have achieved ISO27001. RuleSafe gives us a unique opportunity to deliver our key consulting and integration services in combination with the most effective tool we have found for managing security compliance” said John Morrison, Managing Director at Sapphire. “This represents a powerful alliance that addresses our customers’ most pressing needs in today’s increasingly regulation-driven climate”.
The RuleSafe product provides targeted role-based knowledge for policy, procedures and standards across any organisation. RuleSafe allows users to search across all policy documents covering all risk areas within an organisation to find everything they need to know. RuleSafe incorporates visual management tools to view policies across divisions or locations in the organisation and ascertain adherence to their policies, procedures and standards.
“We are excited by this partnership with such a respected leading UK security solutions provider as Sapphire” said Adrian Wright, Secoda MD. “This relationship will help expand our market presence particularly in the Public Sector and Sapphire will assist us with sales and technical support for our future growth”.
