MARLBOROUGH, Mass. (April 4, 2006) - Workscape, Inc., a proven provider of outsourced benefits and workforce management solutions, today announced that the company has maintained - for the fifth consecutive year - its Perimeter Certified status from Cybertrust, the global information security specialist formerly known as TruSecure. This certification demonstrates Workscape´s commitment to, and achievement of, a sound and proactive program for system security and integrity.
William Bergen, CIO and Vice President of Technology at Workscape, said, "Security threats and network intrusions can´t be predicted or solved with a one-time audit. As evidenced by our ongoing recertification from Cybertrust, Workscape remains steadfast to developing, implementing and maintaining the highest security standards." Bergen added, "As the risk of external threats continues to grow, our customers have the assurance that we are providing them with secure, top-quality outsourced HR solutions."
Perimeter Certification from Cybertrust is renowned as the de facto standard for e-business, and provides recognition that Workscape maintains a proactive and comprehensive security program. This certification reflects Workscape´s compliance with an extensive and continuous security assurance process, and validates the presence of risk reduction practices.
The Cybertrust methodology used for certification addresses threats across six categories of risk that include: electronic threats and vulnerabilities, malicious code, privacy issues, human factors, physical environment, and downtime issues. Evaluation procedures under the perimeter certification security assurance program included external and internal network scanning of critical devices in the perimeter network, a network configuration review, onsite assessments of the physical environment, and reviews of information security policies and procedures.
Tim Clifford, President and CEO of Workscape, said, "As we continue to expand globally, it is essential that our clients are provided with the assurance that the security of their business-critical information is, and will remain, a top priority. We are committed to delivering the highest standards for data security and privacy, allowing our clients to remain focused on their business."
As a Cybertrust Perimeter Certified customer, Workscape will undergo regular reviews, assessments and inspections to ensure that recommended controls and safeguards are kept current for continued information security and defense against newly discovered threats and vulnerabilities.
