eGestalt Launches SecureGRCv11: Managed Security & Compliance Made Easy

Simple, cost-effective, easy-to-use SaaS solution Partners can use to service SMBs, enterprises,Medical Providers & their Business Associates, Retailers & Merchants.

Washington, DC, CompTIA, Saturday – August 06, 2011 — eGestalt Technologies ( http://www.eGestalt.com ) today announced version 11 of its award-winning security and compliance management solution that provides PCI and HIPAA/HITECH-based security and risk assessment, auditing and remediation. The tool offers peace of mind to channel partners servicing SMBs to large enterprises, including medical providers and their business associates, retailers and merchants that must meet PCI and HIPAA/HITECH requirements.

SecureGRC SB™v11 will be offered in two versions: Enterprise and Small Business editions. Partners will immediately realize the benefits of using SecureGRC’s highly automated, scalable, andcost-effective security and compliance management solution complete with pre-audit and post-audit support, a real-time dashboard that offers multiple assessments, reviews and remediation:in short, a configurable policy-based risk model with real-time status.

SecureGRC SB is targeted at small to medium businesses that are looking for an easy-to-use, cost-effective self-assessment based security and compliance solution. The enterprise version of the solution supports the self-assessment capability from SecureGRC SB but adds a pre-audit and audit capability along with complete customizability suitable for medium to large enterprises that are looking for a robust, next-generation security and compliance management solution.

Built from the ground up to profit the channel, SecureGRC offers ready-to-use, pre-packaged content such as policies which are continuously updated, a trove of best practices, and plenty of assessment questions that make it an easy step-by-step process to run the assessment and reach compliance, yet flexible enough to fully customize accordingly.

Being a cloud-based service, service providers/MSPs can take comfort in knowing that no hardware or software deployment is involved. The solution consolidates all compliance-related evidence into a single and centralized repository. Additionally, all data is stored in a SAS 70 Type II secure data center yet no electronic records are removed from the client site.

Delivered exclusively through the channel, the SecureGRC solution allows service providers and MSPs to profit from attaching new bundling opportunities – additional add-on services – that are discovered during the course of conducting their compliance assessments.

“During the course of taking a client through the steps of becoming HIPAA compliant, the SecureGRC tool sniffs out revenue-making bundling opportunities like nothing else I’ve seen,” says David Altizer, vice president of SOS Systems based in Memphis, TN, and an eGestalt partner. “We invariably discover multiple areas that need our attention; we find our clients need written policies, they need endpoint security, they need Active Directory, and a host of other things that improves our perceived value and length of engagement.”

The solution also generates extensive risk and compliance reports on demand – mandatory documentation and reports used to prove full compliancy with auditors.

“We used feedback from the channel to build the easiest, most cost-effective way to ensure that appropriate controls and safeguards have been implemented to prevent unauthorized access and disclosure of sensitive patient data – all that is at the core of meeting and sustaining compliance,” said Anupam Sahai, president, eGestalt. “We have truly demystified the complexity associated with HIPAA/HITECH to the point where absolutely no prior knowledge of these regulations is assumed. This represents a tremendous opportunity especially for service providers who are new to this space, to enter this profitable line of business at virtually no cost.”

Says Altizer of SOS Systems, “Version 11 looks like it’s going to be a lot easier to deploy, a lot easier to manage, and will let us grow a lot faster. It’s a more intuitive user interface, and it’s easier for us to manage our clients. Every concern of ours has been addressed. We are looking forward to v11 and already have two deployments scheduled for it.”

Pricing & Availability:
Available today, SecureGRC SB edition has a starting MSRP of $750 per year. It has the ability to conduct self-assessments and offers scalable compliance management for pre-audit and post-audit compliance support. Please call +1-408-689-2586 or Email sales@egestalt.com for further details.

RealTime Publishing are delighted to announce the release of a Blue Collar Business Novel by author Dr. Jim McCain

RealTime Publishing author, Dr. Jim McCain, releases a Business Novel called Why Trade Contractors Fail and How to Prevent It.

Limerick, Ireland, Saturday – August 06, 2011 — RealTime Publishing Announces “Why Trade Contractors Fail”, a hands-on practical Business Novel from American Author Dr. Jim McCain.

RealTime Publishing, Inc. has published “Why Trade Contractors Fail” by Dr. Jim McCain, which is the author’s first book. The 6 x 9 Paperback in the Small Business category is available worldwide on book retailer websites such as Amazon and Barnes & Noble, Borders for a suggested retail price of $24.95. ‘Why Trade Contractors Fail’ is also available in multiple eBook formats from all the main online retail stores for $6.95. The webpage at store.theebooksale.com was launched simultaneously with the book’s publication.

About the Book (Excerpts & Info)
Cold calling has the best chance of success if you follow these rules:

* Be proud of your appearance. It’s been proven that if you feel unkempt you will project that image over the telephone.
* While telemarketing, talk to your image in a mirror on your desk. Smile. It will come through in your voice.
* Say your piece, then listen and take notes. It is impossible to overcome objections if you don’t hear them. Sometimes prospects do not say they object to something in the telemarketing spiel but they do nevertheless. The astute telemarketer will be able to “hear” an objection without it being stated.
* Be polite, be enthusiastic. Your voice is all you have going for you.
* Remember, you are not selling the company’s products and services, but simply arranging to set sales appointments.
* Many telemarketers give up too readily in their attempts at setting appointments. As I mentioned earlier, it takes a special type of person to handle that kind of rejection. (page 186)

Trade contractors excel at mastery of their specific crafts. The plumber, the electrician, the carpet installer, the home builder…all these and the many other contractors and subcontractors servicing America’s homes and businesses know the technical aspects of their craft inside out.

But their knowledge of business systems often lags. Too many of them fail when it comes to understanding how to manage cash, use telemarketing techniques to get new business, minimize their inventories, and the dozens of other business techniques that spell the difference between success and failure.

Dr. Jim McCain, aka The Business Doctor, has done a great job with his book “Why Trade Contractors Fail and How to Prevent It”, subtitled “A Handbook of Financial, Operations, and Marketing Procedures to Help Trade Contractors Succeed”. It addresses those issues that most Trade Contractors don’t understand. It attacks specific problems that contractors face. Most books addressing this market are too academic and excessively focused on theory. This one is hands-on practical, the way blue collar contractors understand it and like it.

Expertly constructed at 200 pages, “Why Trade Contractors Fail” is being aggressively promoted to appropriate markets with a focus on the Small Business category. With Global wholesale distribution through Ingram, Barnes & Noble, Baker & Taylor, Books a Million and Borders, and pervasive online availability through RealTime Publishing’s online store TheEbookSale.com, Amazon and elsewhere, “Why Trade Contractors Fail” meets consumer demand through both retail and library markets with a suggested retail price of $24.95 and $6.99, respectively.

Additionally, “Why Trade Contractors Fail” can be ordered by retailers or wholesalers from the RealTime wholesale department by emailing buybooks@realtimepublishings.com. To qualify for the maximum trade discount price set by the author, order in quantities of ten or more.
