November 15, 2007 (PRLEAP.COM) Business News
DoubleCheck can now deliver the first complete Policy-driven Enterprise risk centric GRC and Test environment by integrating the products and expertise of Novell, Greenlight Technologies and GR Consulting. With the seamless integration of Identity Manager and Sentinel 6 from Novell, plus the automated financial controls test library from Greenlight Technologies, into the DoubleCheck™ GRC&T Enterprise Solution, DoubleCheck™ can address both the IT and Financial audit and testing needs of the Enterprise for any company in any industry. In addition, the benefits of the DoubleCheck™ / Novell® IT-GRC&T Solution can be maximized by utilizing the professional consulting and implementation services offered by GR Consulting.

This industry leading partnership provides customers an integrated GRC framework and control testing environment to maximize ROI, improve security posture and meet IT audit requirements. By subjecting every policy and control to a testing procedure, Compliance can be assessed, Risk can be measured and Governance can be enforced.

“Businesses are just now beginning to feel the benefits that strong governance practices bring to business operations and stakeholder value. The good news is that technology helps bring down the price tag.”
Reed Harrison,
CTO for Identity and Security Management, Novell

The integration of Control Automation Test software from Greenlight Technologies, a leader in automated control testing and monitoring systems, into the DoubleCheck GRC&T Solution is designed to reduce a company’s Continuous Controls Monitoring costs by up to 50% while reducing the need for repetitive tasks associated with data collection. This can be accomplished across a range of accounting platforms, including financial accounting systems such as SAP®, Lawson®, or Oracle® Financials.

“Enabling GRC Automation is our key focus” said Anand Adya, President/CEO of Greenlight Technologies. “Our solution instills confidence in our customers. We are pleased to participate with DoubleCheck and are impressed with their aggressive and proactive pace to close the loop from risk assignment and response to automated control testing and notification escalation. Our combined solution provides significant value to the market from a compliance automation perspective.”

To support organizations that request “best practices” consulting and/or implementation services to maximize the benefits of a GRC&T initiative, DoubleCheck has partnered with GR Consulting. It is recognized that for a GRC&T initiative to be truly successful, there must be a plan for linking SOX, AS5 Guidance, and a GRC implementation technology framework with automated testing. GR Consulting offers the expertise in both the financial and IT consulting space to accomplish this goal. With their CEO, Michael Rose, as a member of the COSO Advisory Board, and Danny Miller, Lead Partner and former CIO, “best practices” expertise and real-world experience can be applied in support of any company’s GRC&T goals.

“Analyzing metrics that describe risk, including combinations of data from various areas is an especially powerful management tool. A series of dashboards that detail the results of control self assessments by process and department, or the maturity level of controls by process using Key Goal Indicators (KGI) and Key Performance Indicators (KPI), are provided via the DoubleCheck™ / Novell® IT-GRC&T Solution.”
Danny Miller, CISA,
IT Consulting Lead, Partner
