| |
| Independent Research Firm Recognizes Active Compliance as a Leader in IT Risk and Compliance Software |
| |
| Active Compliance outscores major competitors in the overall strength of its IT GRC offering |
| |
| ATLANTA, Sept. 2, 2008 Active Compliance today announced that Forrester Research Inc. has updated its 2008 Forrester Wave™ vendor assessment to recognize Active Compliance as a leader in the IT Risk and Compliance Management software market |
| |
| Forrester recently evaluated Active Compliance’s IT GRC offering, CR3, using the same set of tests and evaluation criteria as it used for the IT GRC vendors profiled in Forrester’s June 2008 report titled “The Forrester Wave™: IT Risk and Compliance Software, Q2 2008.” Each vendor’s score was based on its current offering, strategy and market presence. |
| |
| According to Forrester’s analysis, CR3’s compliance life cycle management capabilities and its integration with underlying technologies are two key areas where Active Compliance has the strongest advantage over its competitors. The firm also identified Active Compliance as an ideal choice for organizations that govern themselves through multiple policies and standards, have a significant amount of existing content, and are looking for a more efficient way to automate their controls testing and reporting. |
| |
| Moreover, Forrester found Active Compliance to be a strong fit for organizations that must continually retrieve testing data from underlying legacy systems. According to the analysis, the company’s robust technology connectors can access, retrieve and interpret testing data from virtually any third party application — including change and configuration management, security management and identity access management applications — as well as legacy or homegrown systems. |
| |
| “We are delighted that Forrester has recognized Active Compliance as a leader in the IT GRC market,” said George Valentine, president of Active Compliance. “We see the results of the Forrester Wave as a strong independent validation of the capabilities of our current product offering, strategy and a recognition of our ability to provide IT organizations with a way to effectively and economically manage their critical IT risk and demonstrate compliance performance.” |
