New Data Retention audit supports corporate information security and privacy compliance efforts
[author:INFORMATICA SECURITY CORPORATION Public time:Dec 3, 2005]

Toronto, December 6, 2005 /PR/ A new service aimed at companies that are experiencing data retention challenges including IT budgeting, data classification and security strategies as well as productivity issues. The new FlexSecure Verify DR is the latest in Informatica’s Verify line of standards-based security audits and assessments. The proprietary methodology examines data retention practices, identifies industry and budget requirements and evaluates the risks associated with information management. Of particular relevance to organizations in regulated industries, Verify DR is also applicable to companies that are seeing rising costs associated with data storage and confidential information collection.

Company president Claudiu Popa is one of Canada’s foremost authorities on information security: “Verify DR is the best audit methodology available to tackle compliance, security, privacy, business continuity, brand protection, intellectual property and productivity issues. In my experience, Canadian companies, especially those in the health, finance or government sectors are finding it difficult to manage information because its sensitivity and classification are often unknown. We see many organizations that are either storing too much, or too little data and this often causes operational problems for the business later on. This non-intrusive audit answers the question: ‘what data can we dispose of and when?’ With Verify DR, we are not only able to give them a sense of what challenges they may be facing, but also help with data classification, regulatory compliance and data retention policies. This is not a cookie cutter service, but a robust methodology wrapped around a fully customized service for every client.”

For companies wishing to further explore secure data destruction and IT disposal, Informatica provides FlexSecure CleanSlate: http://www.InformaticaSecurity.com/FlexSecureCleanSlate.html
