PolicyMatter software has received a powerful endorsement of the depth and breadth of its capabilities in a review of leading information security systems carried out by Computing Security magazine.

The review looked at a range of innovative products addressing different aspects of security, compliance and policy management. “Businesses are being faced with an ever increasing number of regulatory requirements and yet many do not have any systems in place to ensure they can show compliance,” contests the article. “It's not enough to point staff at a pile of manuals or handbooks, as businesses need to know not only that they have read and understood the policies relevant to them, but also that this can be proved.”

Several aspects of requirements for solutions in this space are considered, including ease of installation, design, methods of policy presentation, the ability to assign different policies to different groups, and the need to be able to scale and meet the performance requirements of both SMEs and substantial enterprises. On the last point the article refers to the underlying architecture: “With WebSphere at its core, PolicyMatter can scale effortlessly - from small businesses, right up to the corporate space.”

In summary, the review concludes, “From our experiences, even the best-laid policies are of little value to businesses, if no one either reads or understands them. PolicyMatter come to the rescue, as it delivers a highly scalable solution for policy creation, deployment and management.
