SailPoint and Control Solutions Introduce Identity Compliance Assessment Tool

Easy-to-Use Online Utility Offers Organizations Insight into Efficiency and Effectiveness of Identity Compliance Efforts

AUSTIN, Texas, June 27, 2007 – SailPoint Technologies and Control Solutions International today announced a free online identity compliance assessment utility that helps organizations measure their ability to comply with security and privacy mandates and to manage the risk associated with user access to critical enterprise systems and data. The assessment generates a personalized identity compliance score and ROI analysis based on user responses to questions about an organization's compliance environment. Companies who desire a more comprehensive assessment can request an in-depth analysis from SailPoint and Control Solutions

Developed jointly by SailPoint and Control Solutions, the Identity Compliance Assessment tool is based on best practices for reducing and mitigating identity risk in IT environments. It focuses on four key areas – Access Certifications, Separation-of-Duty (SOD) Policy Enforcement, Privileged User Monitoring, and Identity Risk Management. Through interpretation of the questionnaire results, the tool provides an assessment of an organization's identity compliance maturity and estimates the potential benefits and cost savings of automating and centralizing compliance efforts.

"We've taken the experience we've gained in developing identity compliance solutions and are using this expertise to help organizations assess their current identity compliance practices," said Mark McClain, CEO and founder of SailPoint. "By using our tool, companies can immediately gauge how their performance stacks up against industry benchmarks and take steps to address gaps and inefficiencies. Initial customer response to the tool has been very positive."

SailPoint and Control Solutions together offer products and methodologies that help customers gain visibility and control over who has access to critical information – and what they do with that access. In addition, the two companies enable organizations to decrease reliance on costly, manual processes and to adopt more centralized, policy-driven strategies for managing risk.

"Many companies are spending a significant portion of their IT budget addressing tactical compliance issues, yet even with this investment they remain vulnerable to risks," said Justin Morrow of Control Solutions "By providing our clients with a free online tool for assessing compliance, we are making it easy for organizations to prioritize and focus strategic compliance efforts and better meet their compliance and governance objectives."
