ControlCase Launches ISO 27001/2 Certification Offering |
ControlCase has formed an independent and standalone division to perform ISO 27001 certifications. ControlCase India Pvt. Ltd. was recently awarded the ISO accreditation from the Dutch Accreditation Council, www.rva.nl, (RvA). With this accreditation, ControlCase can now offer clients a compelling and more cost effective offering that combines expertise in PCI Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) compliance and ISO 27001 certification. The independent team of experts in the newly formed ISO division provides services such as Training, Initial Assessments, Certification Audits and Surveillance Audits for Certifications as per ISO 27001.
"By having knowledge and experience of both PCI DSS and ISO regulations, ControlCase is now able to offer existing and new clients even greater value as similarities exist between the two standards," said Suresh Dadlani, COO of ControlCase, the driving force behind the accreditation. "For instance, both require audits and scans of systems to demonstrate compliance and both put an emphasis on physical security controls and access controls. Understandably each standard has its strengths in terms of security management, but there is undoubtedly an overlap between the two which means that if a client needs to be compliant in both, then ControlCase is in a position to provide them with extensive time and cost savings."Click here to read the complete news release. |

|
ControlCase has reported a dramatic increase in revenues for its Compliance as a Service (CaaS) offering in the United States. In the last twelve months, revenues have increased by 150% for CaaS related solutions.
"The regulatory landscape is constantly evolving, which means that compliance issues have become increasingly prevalent and far more complex to manage; a competency most medium to small sized organizations cannot support in-house. Our CaaS solutions are designed to address this market need. They are easy to implement and can be rapidly deployed with no significant upfront investment required," said Ashwani Kaul, President at ControlCase Technologies. "Due to the current economic climate, we are committed to developing flexible CaaS solutions which cost effectively provide customers with clear business benefit. Most of our customers want to focus their energy on their business and not on the minutia of compliance and this is where our CaaS service stands out. We are able to provide an organization with dedicated resources, specialist knowledge and industry experience to essentially become its virtual compliance team."
