Key Business Features and Benefits

• VPC comes with the full library of 1300+ security policies from Information Security Policies Made Easy by Charles Cresson Wood, covering the entire range of BS7799/ISO17799 topics in varying levels of severity to simplify the policy creation process.
• VPC provides the necessary workflow for managing a policy through its entire lifecycle - from creation to draft to publication to archival.
• Role-based distribution allows the policy owner to control which users should see a particular policy. This enables a policy to be more pertinent to the job activities of a particular group of users and reduces information overload.
• VPC has on-line user acceptance of policies. This allows users to electronically sign a policy acknowledging that they have read and understood the policy and eases the administrative burden of collecting employee signatures.
• VPC provides a quizzing mechanism to test employees' knowledge of policies and ensure that they have in fact read and understood the policies.
• VPC provides native NT, Active Directory, and LDAP integration to allow our customers to use existing infrastructure to manage access to the system without any additional user account maintenance or password management burden.
• VPC provides an incident reporting mechanism so that on the same site where users read policies and take related quizzes, they can report any type of violations.
• VPC provides numerous management reports to monitor and report on users, policies, quizzes, and incidents.
