Modulo,
a leading provider of enterprise governance, risk and compliance (GRC)
solutions, today announced the availability of its next generation IT
Governance, Risk
and Compliance
Management (IT GRCM) solution. Modulo Risk Manager NG is an evolution of
the company’s award winning management software that is used by hundreds
of the world’s largest companies and is now also available for fast and
cost-effective deployment in the cloud as software-as-a-service (SaaS)
solution.
This new release of Risk
Manager is also expected to accelerate Modulo’s growing presence in
the U.S., Europe and Middle East with support for multiple languages as
well as an easy-to-use web-based interface and platform. These new
features combined with the core strengths of the fully integrated,
mature Risk Manager platform provide customers with immediate value by
reducing the complexities and cost inherent in GRC
management.
“This new version of Risk Manager has evolved over the last 3 years
using the latest web and cloud technologies available. Modulo NG brings
together product innovation based on feedback from more than 1,000
customers, 25 years experience in the GRC space and builds on 10 years
development of our first generation GRC platform,” says Jeff Kushner,
Modulo’s Director of Marketing.
Modulo Risk Manager NG gives enterprises the visibility they need to
manage both business and IT processes using a standardized approach. It
provides the platform to consistently and repeat-ably demonstrate
multi-regulatory compliance, pass demanding audits and reduce increasing
security threats before they cause costly damage to the organization -
while eliminating duplication of effort through automation.
Major enhancements of this new release include:
Comprehensive multi-language web based platform for a
consistent user experience across policy management, assessment,
evaluation and remediation
Improved user portal, role based access control and dashboards
to improve the efficiency and accountability of enterprise GRC
management
Advanced “what if” modeling to proactively manage acceptable
risks and choose remediation paths with the greatest pay-off by
predicting the impacts of implemented vs. non-implemented controls
against policies
Enhanced policy
management that visually maps policies and regulations to
controls to quickly identify risks and compliance gaps
Scalable control collection architecture to audit and enforce
polices in the most distributed and graphically dispersed environments
Expanded and continuously updated practices and authoritative
sources which provides guidance to understand and remediate risks
Optimized remediation and workflow to proactively manage and
escalate compliance gaps and unacceptable enterprise risk
Addition of GRC Integration Service Foundation Application Program
Interface (API) to ease the task of integrating home grown and
commercial applications like Qualys for more comprehensive GRC
