HiSoftware Security Sheriff SP Recognized as a Leading GRC Technology Solution

Posted on February 10, 2012 by footdash

HiSoftware Security Sheriff SP Recognized as a Leading GRC Technology Solution

HiSoftware Named 2012 GRC Technology Innovator by Corporate Integrity LLC

Nashua, NH (PRWEB) February 09, 2012

HiSoftware Inc., a provider of content aware compliance and security solutions, today announced it has received Corporate Integrity’s GRC Technology Innovation Award. The award recognizes HiSoftware Security Sheriff™ SP as a governance, regulatory and compliance solution on the cutting edge of the industry. The product is designed to protect even the most sensitive enterprise data in SharePoint®, from Personally Identifiable Information (PII) to Protected Health Information (PHI) to pre-release financials, strategic product information, HR data and more. Also today, HiSoftware released Security Sheriff SP into general availability.

The Corporate Integrity GRC Technology Innovation award recipients are chosen by Michael Rasmussen, an internationally recognized pundit on governance, risk management and compliance. Rasmussen is noted as the “Father of GRC” — being the first to define and model the GRC market in 2002 while at Forrester.

[Tweet This] Security Sheriff from @HiSoftware “leading the market” for GRC Technology in SharePoint by @grcpundit. Product now in general availability.

“HiSoftware is unique in its focus of applying GRC technology to the file level within Microsoft SharePoint, the most widely deployed ECM platform on the market today,” said Rasmussen. “Security Sheriff offers an unprecedented level of assurance that sensitive information can be secured inside SharePoint. HiSoftware has shown true innovation and leadership with this product.”

AIIM’s 2011 “State of the ECM Industry” report noted that 70 percent of the largest global organizations surveyed use SharePoint today, making SharePoint one of the market’s fastest-growing ECM systems. Yet concerns remain about SharePoint’s use for the management of private or otherwise sensitive content. In fact, only 20 percent of the respondents to AIIM’s 2011 survey indicated they had sufficient confidence in SharePoint security to store sensitive information.

HiSoftware Security Sheriff SP automates the process of identifying and securing sensitive content inside SharePoint. Key features of HiSoftware Security Sheriff SP include:

    Scanning that assesses the current level of sensitive information present and where it is stored.
    Reporting of content at risk for non-compliance with enterprise privacy policies or a security breach.
    Classifying content with SharePoint metadata. Classifications are used to create content security profiles, assist in e-discovery and provide a persistent form of identification, at the file level, for sensitive content.
    Restricting content at the document level to a specific individual or group, even if a wider audience has access to the site or library where the item physically resides in SharePoint.
    Preventing sensitive content from leaving SharePoint through email, print or “save as” based on the classification of the email and/or the attached document.
    Encrypting content identified as sensitive by Security Sheriff SP. Regardless of which SharePoint site the content resides in, only properly credentialed users will ever be able to read the content, inside or outside of SharePoint, or the enterprise in general.
    Tracking the entire lifecycle of the content in SharePoint. This means that a policy officer can see if a document has been emailed, printed, etc., and document its entire chain-of-custody in the event of a breach or an audit by a regulatory agency (i.e. KPMG for HHS in the case of HIPAA/HITECH).

“HiSoftware is the only vendor enabling both policy and user-based classification allowing for item-level security for content and assets within SharePoint. This greatly helps organizations to protect against data breaches,” said HiSoftware CEO Kurt Mueffelmann. “Receiving a GRC Technology Innovation award from Corporate Integrity is a reflection of HiSoftware’s dedication to leading the market with content-aware compliance and security solutions specifically designed for SharePoint.”

HiSoftware Security Sheriff SP is now available to the general public. To learn more about Security Sheriff SP or to schedule a demo, please contact the HiSoftware solutions team at http://www.hisoftware.com/solutions/related-links/information-request.aspx or 1.888.272.2484.

MonavVie Launches 90-Day Weight Loss “RVLUTION” With Its RVL Weight Management Products Led By Nutritionist and Fitness Expert Mark Macdonall

MonavVie Launches 90-Day Weight Loss “RVLUTION” With Its RVL Weight Management Products Led By Nutritionist and Fitness Expert Mark Macdonall

Mark Macdonald

(PRWEB) February 08, 2012

Health and wellness leader MonaVie has launched the “90-day MonaVie RVLution,” a weight loss movement that uses its RVL Premier Weight Loss System in combination with Venice Nutrition Creator and NY Times Bestselling Author Mark Macdonald’s “Body Confidence” program.

Macdonald, who serves as spokesperson for RVLution, will appear at meetings across the country to lead the program, explain its successful philosophy and help local MonaVie distributors convince attendees to, “Ditch the diet and join the RVLution,” to gain permanent control of their weight and health. The meetings will be free to the public and will consist of education, free product sampling and an exercise program led by Macdonald. Upcoming meetings will be February 10 in Columbia, MO, February 11 in Kansas City, February 18 in Atlanta and February 25 in Chicago.

“Mark and RVL are a perfect combination,” says MonaVie Chief Marketing Officer Jeff Cohen, “and the 90-day MonaVie RVLution provides the perfect way for people to lose weight, get healthy, stay fit and win prizes. Everyone should go to our Web site and sign up to become RVLutionaries!”

As “leader of the RVLution,”Macdonald says that the MonaVie program merges “the best weight loss product with the most complete weight management plan on the market,” and that those who commit to the program will see significant, sustainable results. He maintains that both the RVL products and the Body Confidence program are designed to stabilize blood sugar, which is key to sustainable weight management, because stabilization prevents the body from storing fat or burning muscle.

Macdonald explains, “Stabilizing blood sugar is essential for losing fat and gaining the lean body mass that turns the body into a calorie-burning machine. Balanced blood sugar also cures the body of hunger pangs and cravings that can easily derail those trying to lose weight.” MonaVie’s RVL line has a perfect blend of macro- and micro-nutrients, as well as powerful phytonutrients that optimize cellular health, to help manage weight in a healthy way. Featuring a delicious meal replacement shake, a nutritious snack bar and an all-natural, metabolism-boosting supplement, RVL provides the body with the ingredients that will stabilize blood sugar and ignite an individual’s metabolism.

The RVL product line dovetails perfectly with Macdonald’s Body Confidence program that focuses on three key nutrition principles: 1) Frequent meals that keep blood sugar levels steady and help to prevent overeating and blood sugar spikes; 2) Maintaining correct nutrition ratios—getting the right balance of protein, carbohydrates and fat in every meal; and 3) Managing meal size—eating smaller meals every few hours keeps blood sugar levels steady. It also features 30 minutes of physical activity five to seven days a week.

Macdonald says the power of the RVL/Body Confidence program is that it works and is sustainable in the long-term, because it’s not based on fads, quick promises or dramatic changes in diet. “This program is for anyone who seeks to break the cycle of crash dieting and extreme exercise programs that almost always end in failure. The 90-day RVLution is a way to embark on a smart, sustainable plan to achieve the body you’ve always wanted.”

About MonaVie

MonaVie is a leading product innovator in the health and wellness category. Starting with the acai berry in 2005, MonaVie has fulfilled its mission to bring the rarest nutritional products to a global market.

LB Medwaste Now Offers Online Services for OSHA Compliance

Posted on February 8, 2012 by footdash

LB Medwaste Now Offers Online Services for OSHA Compliance

WAUSAU, Wisconsin (PRWEB) February 07, 2012

LB Medwaste Services has recently expanded its capabilities to include an online training portal designed to help businesses stay safe and compliant to annual state and federal regulations required by OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration). The program, available through the LB Medwaste Services website (http://www.lbmedwaste.com), can help insure that businesses have bloodborne pathogen training, safety plans, and also online safety audits that will keep work environments safe.

There are several advantages to an online system. “Foremost, the technology lets employees learn and take a test for annual certification at his or her pace. This will insure that information is fully understood. In addition, the online quiz helps businesses know when individual employees are due for a refresher or when an annual certification is about to expire,” said Jeff Evenhouse, President of LB Medwaste Services. The flexibility and customization of the testing will accommodate new employees and also target needs specific to an area within a business, such as shipping that may have distinct codes. Finally, there is a component that helps a business create and store a safety plan and also perform its own safety audits. All of this crucial planning and safety training is in one spot, not several bulky binders and is accessible to all employees via individual passwords and a website.

LB Medwaste of Wausau has been in the medical disposal business since 1989, and has grown to serve over 2,000 clients in Wisconsin, Upper Michigan, Illinois, Minnesota and Indiana. It safely disposes of waste in the medical, manufacturing, dental, and pharmaceutical industries. Now employing 15 workers, LB Medwaste has created a niche that emphasizes both safety and security with a knowledgeable, dedicated staff that provides disposal of specialty waste. LB Medwaste also offers confidential shredding services and sells medical waste related equipment.

MedicAlert names Phil Nathan – a Leader of the International Association of Lions Clubs and Chair of MedicAlert UK & Ireland Affiliate – to the Foundation’s International Board of Directors

Turlock, CA (PRWEB) February 06, 2012

MedicAlert Foundation International, a worldwide leader in emergency medical information and identification services, has appointed Philip Nathan to the Board of Directors during its annual meeting late last month. Mr. Nathan, a leading stockbroker in the United Kingdom, is widely known for his commitment to community service and philanthropic causes mostly through his tireless work as a lifelong member of the International Association of Lions Clubs International. Mr. Nathan also serves as Chair of Trustees of the MedicAlert Foundation International affiliate in the UK and Ireland.

“We are honored to have Mr. Nathan join us in fulfilling the mission of MedicAlert Foundation International,” said Mary Dean, Chair of the International Board of Directors. “He is a proven advocate for the goals of MedicAlert Foundation. His vision and energy will be a tremendous asset as a member of the International Board of Directors.”

“Phil Nathan’s strong commitment to community service and his leadership skills will be invaluable to our effort to ensure more people have access to MedicAlert services around the world,” explained Andrew Wigglesworth, MedicAlert Foundation International President and Chief Executive Officer.

“I am a staunch supporter of MedicAlert Foundation International’s mission to protect and save lives,” said Mr. Nathan. “MedicAlert and its global network of affiliated organizations serve millions of people and it is my privilege to be a part of this worthwhile cause. MedicAlert speaks for you when you can’t.”

Mr. Nathan is currently the Head Dealer and Executive Board Director of the United Kingdom firm of Charles Stanley & Company Limited. For more than 35 years, he has worked as stockbroker and financial manager and his career is highlighted with numerous professional achievements. At the same time, he has devoted a lifetime to helping others, with much of that effort spent as a member of the International Association of Lions Clubs. Not only has Mr. Nathan served as chair on various boards and committees, he has actively raised funds and awareness of the Lions’ A Gift for Living Trust, Hearing Trust and Eye Health Program. His leadership and commitment to healthcare initiatives earned him the appointment of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and numerous recognitions by Lions Clubs International; most notably, the honor of Ambassador of Goodwill Award, the highest recognition bestowed by the Lions Clubs to a member.

Last year, Mr. Nathan was presented with the Lion Recognition Award by International Lions Clubs President Sid L. Scruggs for his outstanding humanitarian work in the former Yugoslavia. In 1997, Mr. Nathan personally led a fundraising campaign to build pediatric hospitals and provide medical training to ensure quality health care for children in Bosnia Herzegovina. Mr. Nathan is the first Lion in the European Constitutional Area to receive this award. After learning about the significant contributions of MedicAlert Foundation, he was instrumental in fostering a successful partnership between the Lions Clubs of Canada and MedicAlert Foundation, Canada. Mr. Nathan also sits on the Board of Special Olympics GB and is Chair of Music and the Deaf.

Houston Texas Consulting Teams up with the Ronald McDonald House

Posted on February 5, 2012 by footdash

Houston Texas Consulting Teams up with the Ronald McDonald House

Houston Texas Consulting Lends A Helping Hand

(PRWEB) February 03, 2012

Houston Texas Consulting began a “Wish List” drive for the Ronald McDonald House of Houston on Monday, January 2nd.

http://www.rmhhouston.org

Houston’s Ronald McDonald House offers loving, home-like environments, where families can find support and share experiences with others while on their journey to overcome a critical childhood illness. This mission has been the vision and driving force behind Houston’s Ronald McDonald House for more than three decades. Today that vision has grown to include:

    Holcombe House a freestanding 50-bedroom home for longer term stays
    House inside Texas Children’s Hospital (TCH) a home with 20 bedrooms
    House inside Children’s Memorial Hermann Hospital a home with 14 bedrooms
    Three Family Rooms inside TCH
    ”Cookie Corner” at M. D. Anderson Children’s Cancer Hospital

When a critical illness strikes a child, the nearest treatment can be far from home in an unfamiliar medical center. The treatment likely requires long periods of hospitalization and extended periods of hospital-based therapy. The only solution for many families is to leave their home, friends and family behind in order to remain at their child’s side and stay as close to the hospital as possible.

However, no health insurance plan has ever covered the additional expense of food and lodging while living far from home. Nor do they accommodate the special emotional needs of fearful parents and confused siblings. The best solution is to offer families a home away from home where they could be a family again, and enjoy a little privacy as well as the support of others experiencing a similarly anxious time.

Houston Texas Consulting supports the Ronald McDonald House’s vision that every child and family dealing with a critical illness will have a place they can stay and be close with their family during the hardship of dealing with the illnesses. The team at Houston Texas Consulting hopes to send boxes to the Ronald McDonald House overflowing!

Houston Texas Consulting collected the items below that are part of the Ronald McDonald House “Wish List” and are in continuous use, and are necessary for the daily operation of “The House That Love Built.”

    Individually packaged breakfast items such as muffins, Danishes, POP Tarts and breakfast bars, cereal, oatmeal
    Individually packaged snacks such as granola bars, crackers, chips, pretzels, cookies, gummie snacks, candy and popcorn
    Fruit – Fresh or individual servings
    Tuna lunch kits
    Coffee – regular
    Sugar Packets
    Microwaveable soups – individual servings
    Paper Products (paper towels, toilet paper, tissue, paper plates/cups, trash bags, etc.)
    Shower essentials
    Disinfecting Products: Hand Sanitizer, Lysol Wipes and Spray
    Dishwashing and Laundry Detergent
    Houston Zoo passes
    Houston Museum of Natural Science passes

Houston Texas Consulting made a donation of over 280lbs of the “Wish List” essentials and necessities. We will continue to donate throughout the year and be a continuous supporter of the Ronald McDonald House of Houston.

Houston Texas Consulting is a leading sales and marketing company in the business-to-business market. Indirect channels of marketing, such as TV ads, radio ads, and direct mail, have created a personal gap between the product and the business consumer. Our firm bridges this detrimental gap by building lasting relationships through in-person contact with businesses. When compared to other forms of marketing, the benefits are invaluable.

Through the use of courteous, professional, and service-specific presentations we create a positive and lasting impression. Our approach enhances brand loyalty, which translates into increased revenues and long-term success.

Most organizations are built on an every-man-for-himself model. Even in a large company, everything is a solo deal. We are different. We know that teamwork pays off. No one succeeds alone. We know that our success is dependent on finding and developing solid team players. That is why we focus our own recruiting on identifying those with the inherent qualities to succeed: discipline, commitment, character, and personality. We look for the right type of person (who may or may not have experience), and then introduce personal and professional leadership principles to further their career. The result is success, and for a simple reason: our employees are continuing to learn and grow. If you’re the kind of ambitious, energetic, charismatic pro we believe you are, you can be very successful here.

Nashua, New Hampshire, USA (PRWEB) February 03, 2012

Kentico-powered site Discover Ireland features comprehensive information and listings for Irish accommodation, activities, events, tourist attractions and Irish holiday special offers. The website was redesigned by Irish digital agency Tibus.

“Tibus is delighted that Discoverireland.ie has been recognised as Global Winner of Kentico Site of the Year 2011. This site is the culmination of a lot of hard work by the teams in Tibus and our client Fáilte Ireland, the national tourism body for Ireland. The Kentico platform has been an amazing system on which to develop our end product; it has allowed us to innovate visually and technically with great support always available from the Kentico team. The feedback from site visitors and the Fáilte Ireland content team has been fantastic, with the site living up to the original vision of delivering a showcase for Ireland.” said Rick McKee, Managing Director at Tibus.

“Not only exciting graphics and a fantastic user experience make the Discover Ireland website unique and compelling. It also provides advanced features such as ‘My Discoveries’ and ‘Trip Planner’ that help visitors better plan their trips. I can clearly see why Discover Ireland is the main source of information for organising a holiday in Ireland,” said Eva Palbuchtova,” Marketing Specialist at Kentico Software. “I am proud to congratulate Tibus, along with the entire list of winners of each category, who proved their exceptional skills in delivering first-class websites.”

SDay.gr, an information source for the latest news, results, numbers, videos, interviews and commentaries from the world of sport, won in the category of Largest Site of 2011. It receives approximately 4.5-5 million page views per month and contains approx. 46.000+ unique pages. Dimitris Rakopoulos, Development Director at re|direct – cross media communication, the partner in charge of the Sday.gr site, said: “SDay.gr is about all sports in Greece! We’re glad we’ve scored a homerun with this one. We have been working very hard to make this a successful project and this award is the cornerstone of our efforts.“

Research Triangle Park, NC (PRWEB) February 02, 2012

It also controls more than 50 broadleaf weeds, including ALS-resistant biotypes, such as kochia, common lambsquarters, Russian thistle and prickly lettuce.

“Most wheat fields contain a mixture of grass and broadleaf weeds, requiring the use of multiple products in one application” said John McGregor, cereals herbicide product manager, Bayer CropScience. “In one product, and one application, Huskie Complete provides cross-spectrum weed control of the most important grass and broadleaf weeds in wheat.
