By 2012, the number of regulations that directly affect IT operations will double.*
Companies rightly fear that the complexity of related compliance requirements will tie up their IT team. Organizations often choose to protect from the outside in – an approach that quickly becomes overwhelmed by the tangle of processes, data locations, outsourcing providers, CRM systems, and call centers, just to mention a few of the myriad windows into private information.

The MENTIS vision is clear and straightforward. We build solutions from the inside out - tightening security at the data level itself. Our technology platform and cross-functional expertise enable our customers to gain control easily, satisfy multiple legislative requirements, and surpass security audits.

It’s not just about Sarbanes-Oxley anymore

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act continues to make a substantial impact on organizations and IT departments. There are, however, at least 25 current acts of legislation that often cross multiple geographical areas and industries. Requirements for improved financial processes spawn the need for internal controls. Global companies will be increasingly affected by new regulations in Europe, Canada and Japan. More companies gain media attention every day because of security breaches and controls that fall short of requirements and customer confidence. In short, costly data breaches have exposed security issues, and Sarbanes-Oxley has set a standard for other governance, risk and compliance needs.

Corporations need the flexibility of MENTIS to incorporate future legislation into technical and human systems with ease. It’s a new world of information out there.

Strategic prevention PLUS tactical detective tools

According to Gartner, “a shift is occurring from tactical and reactive approaches to more strategic and proactively coordinated implementations”*. Companies have traditionally taken a more fragmented approach to governance. This makes it more difficult to comply with legislation and pass security audits. Today, the pressure is mounting and MENTIS has arrived with more immediate, strategic solutions:

• MENTIS customers can take the leap within days - from no compliance to a complete understanding of their state of security and how it compares to industry standards and legislation. This includes tactical and strategic recommendations. You can close security gaps and establish the best practices needed for today’s growing compliance market.
• Imbedded in MENTIS tools are unique data rules that comply with all legislative acts applicable to your industry. Your IT team has a quick catalogue of every area where PII resides within the ERP framework, catching the obvious and the most obscure piece of sensitive data.
• The MENTIS iMonitor product documents the detailed data needed to comply with privacy legislation, and has actionable alerts including intrusion detection, attack termination, victim notification and internal controls.
• The MENTIS iAutomate service creates entirely dynamic, custom applications for organizations whose labor intensive processes make compliance difficult and/or which are no longer cost effective.
