FireScope Raises the bar with Modular Compliance Solution

I recently had a conversation with Steve Cotton, CEO of FireScope. The company provides an integrated IT Service management suite including FireScope Business Service Management, Configuration Management and Analytics solutions. They have developed the industries first Self-service solution allowing businesses of any size to achieve a technology agnostic- single-pane view of assets, events, performance trends, security and service-level agreement status. My interest was to see how this applies to the Compliance sector.

FireScope offers a very unique approach to Compliance with HIPAA, SOX, PCI, NIST, GLBA and NERC. I had the opportunity to have a demo of the portal-web dashboard- and it was very impressive. What do I mean by that? Everything you would want to take action on -or review- is in one web-based dashboard! All status reports, administration tasks, task assignments, real time data, etc - one window view! The demo showed views of their integrated IT Service management solution that included FireScope Business Service Management, Configuration Management and Analytics solutions. Thank you Josh - FireScope!

What is really cool is that FireScope is the first IT Operations Web-based portal built on Web 2.0 technology with a services-oriented architecture (SOA). Their "industry first" modular approach allows users to pick and choose services that apply to standards such as HIPAA, SOX, PCI, NIST, GLBA and NERC. Services include options for security, performance, availability and compliance monitoring along with long-term strategic planning, administration, task assignments, compliance reporting, audit related data, and more.

The ability to pick and choose service options is very flexible and the modules can also be reused with the ability to add new services at a later time. This make their solution very flexible, affordable and scaleable for companies of all sizes to adopt and manage over time. FireScope installs rapidly and is subscription based so you only pay for the services you use! This makes FireScope a very reasonable choice when compared to other options, such as, adoption of multiple solutions, long integration timelines, heavy maintenance and payment for options you will never use.

If you are seeking a Compliance Solution you must see FireScope!
