OVERLAND PARK, KS — (Marketwired) — 10/03/13 — , a provider of innovative governance, risk management and compliance (GRC) solutions, today announced that it was honored with the 2013 GRC Value Award in the IT & Information Risk, Security & Compliance category by GRC analyst firm . The Inaugural GRC Value Awards recognize real-world implementations for Governance, Risk Management and Compliance programs and processes that have returned significant and measurable value to an organization.
“LockPath has demonstrated proven business value in information risk, security and compliance through its work with a leading medical device manufacturer,” said Michael Rasmussen, Chief GRC Pundit for GRC 20/20 and internationally recognized expert. “It is imperative that we recognize today-s successes as a milestone toward advancing GRC maturity. In achieving maturity, GRC is part of the organization-s strategy and operations and supported by a range of technologies, knowledge and services – enabling the organization to achieve greater efficiency, effectiveness, and agility in GRC processes and broader business operations.”
LockPath worked with a manufacturer of medical devices to reduce IT audit preparation time by 80 percent, improve the efficiency of security functions, and deliver deeper insights through dashboards and results. The organization was able to achieve a comprehensive view of its GRC processes by implementing a combination of applications from LockPath-s Keylight platform over time including, Risk Manager (RM), Compliance Manager (CM), Audit Manager (AM), and Security Manager (SM). As a result, it has saved at least 10 weeks of employee time that would be spent managing an audit, reduced billing time, received audit results more quickly, and avoided costs that accompany exploited vulnerabilities.
“LockPath is honored to be recognized for its work by such an authoritative voice in the GRC space,” said Chris Caldwell, CEO of LockPath. “Keylight can take a lot of the complexity out of GRC, freeing up employees- time for more strategic projects. For example, rather than focusing on manual tracking and follow-up, staff can dig deeper into data to ask -what if- questions and draw more meaningful insights.”
The 2013 GRC Value Awards evaluated solution providers and GRC practitioners in the following categories: Enterprise GRC, 3rd Party Management, Audit Management, Business Continuity, Compliance Management, Control Monitoring/Assurance, Environmental Health & Safety, Fraud, IT Security Risk Management &Compliance, Identity & Access, Insurance & Claims Management, Investigations, Legal, Policy Management and Risk Management.
