InfoSec 2009: MetaCompliance Advantage Launch Addresses User Accountability and Awareness Challenges

April 27, 2009

The information governance landscape is evolving rapidly in response to recent, and even future events. For many organisations the security agenda is now set by outside legislative requirements, and most companies have recognised the benefits of, or indeed have been forced into, compliance with one of the main information security standards. But as these companies are realising, the challenge has only begun. Organisations must maintain these high levels of information governance to continue to meet regulatory requirements.

So how can this be achieved? A mammoth effort was required just to attain compliance, how can beleaguered organisations realistically manage to sustain this effort, particularly in a time of economic uncertainty?

One UK company has the answer. Baronscourt, the leading supplier of IT Governance, Risk and Compliance solutions, launch their flagship product, MetaCompliance Advantage, at this years InfoSecurity Europe exhibition.
