HiSoftware Announces the Release of AccMonitor – Federal Risk Management Compliance Server at FOSE

Automated Content Compliance Platform provides in-depth solution for Privacy, Operational Security and Accessibility standards


Concord, NH – March 7, 2006 – HiSoftware, a leading provider of software, services and managed operation solutions that monitor and optimize Web content, quality and regulatory compliance across an organization’s Web site, today announced the general availability and release of AccMonitor® – Federal Risk Management Compliance Server at FOSE 2006 in Washington DC. This latest suite of products from HiSoftware allows US Federal Agencies to verify, test, repair and enforce audit and compliance requirements through Privacy, Operational Security and Accessibility across their Web properties.

Toby Bell, research director for Gartner, states, “Given the explosion of Web-based content serving various online audiences, and the compliance objectives demanding enterprise attention, careful site monitoring is a key component of effective governance in a high performance workplace.”

HiSoftware’s AccMonitor - Federal Risk Management Compliance Server provides a complete suite of modular solutions that enable agencies to create and manage Web standards for Privacy, Operational Security (OpSec) and Accessibility. In addition to checking Web content against regulatory statutes and mandates such as Gramm-Leach Bliley Act (GLBA), Section 208  US Privacy Act, Section 508 of Americans with Disabilities, the core technology allows for user-defined compliance through a custom check and report builder. This extends the validation system provided in AccMonitor Compliance Server to meet any specific need not covered by a publicly available standard or guideline. Tests are generated through HiSoftware’s technology, but use built-in, standards-based XML for extensibility and interoperability.

AccMonitor is a server solution that can be configured as software or an On-Demand / Hosted Environment with minimal user interaction and configuration. AccMonitor can be scheduled to crawl and verify content on a pre-defined scheduled basis. In addition, the software can email reports or just links to the location of reports, for all files verified or only those that fail compliance with the rules the user chooses. AccMonitor provides an integrated digital dashboard that incorporates streamlined report viewers and preview modes, so users can test their pages for optimal performance under variable end-user scenarios. The dashboard reporting system provides easy access to executive level summary reports so that IT managers can obtain quick status reports within the application interface.

“Enterprises and government agencies worldwide rely on HiSoftware to align IT with business priorities, compliancy, and reduce costs and risks,” states HiSoftware President and CEO Kurt A. Mueffelmann. “With over 25 Federal Agencies utilizing HiSoftware as their enterprise Web quality test management platform, we are committed to providing our customers with best in class technologies, services and solutions to address evolving statutory, regulatory and agency specific compliance issues.”

HiSoftware will be showing AccMonitor – Federal Risk Management Compliance Server at FOSE in the Microsoft Partner Pavilion Booth #2101, March 7-9, 2006 at the Washington Convention Center in Washington, DC.
