Logicalis launches of "GRACE"
July 2008 by Marc Jacob
Logicalis announces the launch of GRACE (Governance, Risk and Compliance Engine), an automated policy management solution that enables organisations to simplify and reduce the operational risk and burden of maintaining and enforcing best-practice compliance and governance.
Operated via a central portal, GRACE eases the process of creating, modifying, authorising, reporting and tracking multiple policies, procedures and guidelines associated with compliance, governance and disaster recovery strategies.
Whilst compliance stands as a wider business issue, the IT department is often called upon to maintain the numerous policies, and according to Kelly this has a two pronged effect:
Presented as a three-step programme – create, distribute, report – GRACE aims to transform policy delivery, awareness and compliance, by enabling organisations to efficiently and cost-effectively deliver powerful and consistent policy messages. In doing so, businesses will be empowered, not hindered, by the exponential growth of commercial regulations.
In addition to providing a fully automated and integrated system for managing policy management activity, GRACE incorporates the following features:
Simple user interface
Role-based enterprise security model
Dashboard & drill-down reporting
Core database
Directory integration
Management of user groups
Enhanced workflow capabilities
Improved document editing and management
Multi-language support
Alerting and escalation
Full and secure audit trails
