The Need to "Collaborate with Confidence"
In today's highly scrutinized and regulated business environment revenues from alliance-based collaborative activities are climbing to record levels. Organizations can no longer afford to leave collaborative information risks unmanaged and out of business managers' control.
As organizations have initiated collaborative business efforts with customers, partners and third-party services, the resulting information systems and services have become more interdependent:
Their availability is now your availability
Their security is now your security
Their information quality is now your information quality
Their privacy policy is now your privacy policy
Their information regulatory compliance now impacts yours!
Can you afford to be caught unprepared or out of compliance with your stated policies or contractual service levels and controls?
These issues have become collaborative business management issues. They can not be dismissed as technical headaches. Business ownership of information has always been necessary, and in today's business environment it is now mandatory.
Get the control and the answers you need with ComplyChain™; a web-based service that lets you, the collaborative business manager, “Collaborate with Confidence(sm).”
Every modern collaborative business relationship has shared business activities supported by shared-information services. Control and compliance issues related to foundational information systems or "information services" generally go unaddressed. At best, they are mentioned in "service level agreements" that are not practically enforceable by businesses.
In the past, you may have been unaware of these issues or may have thought they belonged strictly in the domain of your IT professionals. Not any more. As a collaborative business manager, legal advisor, auditor, consultant, or executive, you need to ensure that other organizations are managing your information with the diligence that you and your customers require.
When partners have caused or have experienced a lapse in your "joint" information service: availability, security, privacy, quality, or regulatory compliance? And, you need to have effective mutual real-time responses in place for service failures before they become business or regulatory catastrophes.
Where and How ComplyChain Can Help
Better business management demands control of information availability, security, privacy, quality, or regulatory compliance as it relates to the "extended enterprise". ComplyChain enables you to address the business and regulatory exposure from information dependencies with your networked partners.
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act, HIPAA, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act and other legislation have created a flurry of internal compliance efforts. But what about your strategic business and outsourcing efforts which extend beyond your four walls? As a line-of-business manager, legal advisor, auditor, consultant, or executive responsible for partner and customer collaboration and alliances, you now need to more closely manage the controls associated with your collaborative operations.
ComplyChain extends controls and real-time enforcement to your information-chain dependencies with collaborative partners using the ISACA COBIT audit standard. This empowers organizations to know when partners have caused or have experienced a lapse in "joint" information service: availability, security, privacy, quality, privacy, or regulatory compliance. ComplyChain also enables you to have effective mutual real-time responses in place for service failures before they become business or regulatory catastrophes and creates a process of continual improvement and re-alignment for all your collaborative controls.
ComplyChain delivers all this capability in a single service with patent-pending, technology, methodology, and processes. ComplyChain is easy-to-use, business-oriented, and uniquely partner-centric, inherently supporting the requirements of joint collaborative compliance and joint process management.
