NETconsent Compliance Suite

The foundation for good governance

The Netconsent Compliance Suite delivers a pro-active and sustainable approach to handling the policy management lifecycle and other supporting documents. It is an easy-to-use system that raises policy awareness and understanding, makes it easier for managers to foster policy adherence, and enables auditors to measure policy compliance effortlessly.

Matching practice to policy objectives

The Policy establishes the foundation for organizational success and robust corporate governance. However many organizations, which document policies, fail to implement them successfully. Out-of-date and irrelevant policies lead to organizational confusion, poor practice, and costly errors.

The Netconsent Compliance Suite has been designed to enable organizations to manage policies efficiently and cost-effectively. The high administrative burden traditionally associated with policy implementation is eliminated and practical tools are provided for management to measure, monitor, and manage policy compliance at all levels within an organization.

Addressing the human factor

Reliance on pure technology controls to prevent governance failures is becoming unsustainable. New threats are evolving daily and, in times of austerity, the cost and practicality of maintaining such systems are prohibitive. Organizations are increasingly turning to policy communication and education to ensure people consistently act more responsibly.

User awareness & understanding

Netconsent guarantees everyone is aware of relevant policy updates. The system requires people to electronically sign their acceptance to adhere to mandatory policies and facilitates easy access to associated documentation, such as procedures, e-learning modules, and forms.

To enable continuous improvement accurate details of training undertaken and results of completed assessments are recorded and collated for reporting purposes.

• Increased policy awareness.
• Greater devolvement of accountability to individuals.
• People more competent to perform the right way, every time.

Risk mitigation

A degree of risk is an integral part of operating in our modern economy. However, taking a systematic approach to risk management helps organizations mitigate risk and meet their regulatory obligations.

Netconsent provides a fair and consistent approach to communicating best practices, ensuring everyone understands their rights and responsibilities.

• Flexibility to adjust policy in response to shifting roles and priorities.
• Enhanced monitoring, testing, and reporting capabilities to raise standards.
• Powerful, actionable insight into an organization’s compliance status.

Overcoming organizational boundaries

Establishing a corporate culture that promotes Compliance is challenging. For geographically dispersed organizations or those collaborating with other business partners, this challenge is greatly amplified.

Netconsent enables policy compliance across organizational and geographical boundaries, thereby demonstrating a duty of care and protecting corporate reputation.

• Full-time, part-time and contract staff handled consistently
• 3rd party policy awareness and understanding recorded
• Multi-lingual requirements accommodated

Sustainable governance

Robust governance depends on clearly articulated rules being understood and enacted. Higher performing organizations go beyond superficial regulatory compliance. They choose to use a sustainable model of governance, which helps to pinpoint policy or operational weaknesses and which provides managers with information to rapidly remedy problems as they arise.

Netconsent is a proven automated approach to policy management, which provides a rich reporting framework to measure and monitor policy compliance against an ever-changing legal and regulatory landscape.

• Evidence compliance and satisfy auditors
• Streamline compliance activities saving time and money
• Anticipate, detect, and remedy problems more quickly, enabling senior managers to focus on the critical risk area

Anytime Anywhere Protection

Advances in mobile and flexible working arrangements have resulted in more people frequently working away from the office. Different rules often apply depending on where or how people are working.

Netconsent’s unique Policy Enforcement Point ^TM (PEP) technologies enable organizations to present employees with policies and procedures at the most appropriate time. People are made aware of their responsibilities prior to the opportunity to conduct non-compliant behavior: for example, when accessing information from different locations, different network services, or various peripheral hardware devices.

• Context-aware policy presentation reduces the likelihood of risky behavior.
• Tighter policy control with the point of access enforcement.
• Embed security best practices within the mobile user community.
