Brainloop Helps Businesses Identify Compliance Risks when Sharing Information

New white paper published by secure document collaboration vendor.

Boston, MA, August 31, 2010 — Brainloop, the leading supplier of software solutions for high-security management of confidential documents ( http://www.brainloop.com ), today issued a white paper titled “Ten Questions to Identify Compliance Risks When Sharing Information.” Authored by Cheryl Klein, CPA, CISA, CITP and founder of GRC Consulting Services, the paper analyzes 10 common business scenarios that expose companies to potential compliance risks when sharing documents with partners, auditors, vendors, or any other individuals outside the corporate network.

Traditional information security controls provide protection behind the firewall for most of a company’s documents, yet fail to address the issue of protecting documents that must be shared outside the enterprise.

“Corporate and regulatory compliance policies require companies to ensure information flows are documented, auditable, and highly secure,” said Klein. “Yet at the same time, companies must share sensitive information outside the firewall in order to conduct business, which introduces serious potential information risk.”

To help businesses address this challenge, the Brainloop ( http://www.brainloop.com ) white paper presents 10 questions that help businesses identify compliance risks and explore mitigation strategies, along with best practices suitable for each scenario.

The questions guide businesses on how to deal with compliance regulations, and how to interact with external auditors as well as regulatory bodies. The white paper also discusses extending centrally-defined policies to the departmental level, implementing appropriate access controls for diverse document types and user roles, managing personal information, and controlling external collaboration as well as other security measures to consider.

“Identifying compliance risk is crucial because even the most conscientious people can breach security policies unintentionally,” added Klein. “People are human, so it’s critical to confirm document access with audit trails and logs to ensure compliance regulations are followed correctly.”

Indamixx Portable Studio Debuts Indamixx Pro, a High Performance Line of Audio Computers and Music Laptops Built for the Professional Recording and Digital DJ Markets

Indamixx family of mobile DAW’s grows up. New Laptops includes faster processors, storage, memory and pre loaded Linux custom audio OS. Feature rich appliance is an ideal Music Computer and Audio Laptop for recording, broadcasting and music making.

Los Angeles, CA, August 31, 2010 — Trinity Audio Group Inc. announces the availability of it’s newest line of Music Computers, Indamixx Pro and Indamixx Pro SL. New Pro models maintain the Indamixx identity, small form factor mobile recording appliances, while adding performance hardware features ideal for professional audio recording. Pro models include additional music making applications, synthesizers, native plug-ins, and native virtual instruments (VST’s). Indamixx Pro models also include the debut of HDMIDJ’s. HDMIDJ’s utilizes the on board HDMI port as an all-in-one Digital DJ solution.

“Indamixx Pro is the most affordable and complete Music Laptop on the market today,” says Creative Director Ronald Stewart. “Anyone considering purchasing an Apple MacBook Pro for professional audio production should take a serious look at what Indamixx Pro offers. A similar Apple solution with Pro Tools, Logic with all the plug-ins and virtual instruments (VST’s) would cost more than three times as much as our most expensive solution,” says Stewart.

An Apples to Apples comparison is available here or at www.indamixx.com.

Music Laptops all the rage or just en vogue?
“Dr. Dre and HP’s Beats laptop is $400.00 more than our most expensive model and theirs doesn’t ship with any music production software or dedicated digital audio workstation. Public Enemy said it best, Don’t believe the hype,” says Stewart.

When technology meets innovation.
HDMIDJ’s (an Indamixx Pro exclusive) utilizes the HDMI port and a HDMI cable connected to an HDTV to replace the need for a 4 output sound card. “This is ideal for those ‘bedroom DJ’s’ just starting out and have a $9.00 HDMI cable laying around. Why go broke buying expensive and difficult to setup products, when Indamixx Pro solves those problems right out the box. With pre loaded Mixxx Digital DJ software, this setup behaves more like a gaming console and truly is an all-in-one solution,” says Stewart.

Indamixx Pro ships with 330 plug-ins, including 30 native plug-ins and effects, 312 synthesizers, full versions of energy XT, Renoise Super Tracker (a global exclusive), LinuxDSP Live and Native, VST Host, 2 Vocoders and much much more.

Indamixx features Intel CULV Dual Core and Core Duo processors, 800 FSB RAM and 7200 RPM hard drives.

Indamixx Pro $899.00 and Indamixx Pro SL $1199.00 are both available at Guitar Center and Musician’s Friend.

ENER-G has launched a new ENER-G Sustainable Technologies division – specialising in the design, installation and maintenance of heat pumps

Through its exclusive partnership with four leading manufacturers, the company is providing one of the widest selections of ground source, gas absorption, air source and water loop heat pump technologies in the UK.

The new division expands ENER-G’s existing ground source heat pump operation into a building services focused business that can provide total heat pump solutions for all types of heating and cooling applications utilising heat pumps ranging from 1kW to 1000kW capacity.

ENER-G Sustainable Technologies has relocated its Nottinghamshire base from Ollerton into larger premises in Mansfield, which will accommodate its anticipated year-on-year growth.

Managing Director, Paul Burley said: “Our in-house expertise and resources means we can see the whole job through from initial feasibility through to project handover. We operate our own drilling rigs and offer complete in-house services from specialist design, through to complete project management, installation and maintenance of heat pump technologies. We also have the ability to supply bespoke manufactured heat pumps in a variety of sizes to accommodate complex customer briefs, particularly where space is restricted.”

The introduction of the proposed Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) in April 2011 is expected to stimulate further demand in the sector, providing significant subsidy payments of up to 7.5 pence per kWh for 15 to 23 years that will dramatically reduce the payback period on ground source and air source heat pump technology.

Explains Paul Burley: “This legislation will support a range of heating and cooling systems at all levels, from small businesses and offices, and public sector buildings right up to large factories. A 200kW ground source heat pump operating eight hours a day – typical for a school or moderately sized business premises – would create an annual incentive of approximately £18,000. Similarly, a 200kW air source pump operating in comparable circumstances would lead to a financial gain of around £7,000 per year.

“ENER-G’s expertise in delivering these technologies for all sizes and types of application is unsurpassed. We are currently looking at introducing attractive finance packages which will fund the installation, along with operation and maintenance of the technology at minimal cost to the client”.

Heat pumps supply more energy than they consume by using a refrigeration cycle to absorb heat from the environment and raise it to a suitable level for heating buildings or providing hot water. The process can operate in a reverse cycle to provide cooling for buildings as well. Heat pumps can provide a 50% reduction in CO2 emissions compared to traditional technologies.

When combined heat and power is used to drive heat pumps, further energy savings and CO2 reductions can be achieved. ENER-G is using these two technologies in tandem to power the new Malvern Community Hospital, which will be one of the greenest hospitals in the UK.

ENER-G Sustainable Technologies has won official certification for its expertise in renewable heat pump technology. The Approved Contractor certificate recognises the quality of ENER-G’s design, supply, and installation heat pumps, in line with exacting technical standards set out by the Microgeneration Certification Scheme. The company is also a member of the UK Ground Source Heat Pump Association.

The business is part of the UK-based ENER-G group of companies which employs more than 760 people worldwide, with operating and joint venture companies in 16 countries. It develops, manufactures, delivers and finances energy efficient and renewable solutions, including: combined heat and power, biogas utilisation, geothermal energy, heat pumps, efficient lighting, controls, metering and data solutions, and new generation energy from waste. This is accompanied by a wide range of energy and water consultancy and energy procurement services.

Companies around the world losing thousands of pounds in website downtime

Companies located around the World are being urged to become more aware of the financial costs of web downtime.

Andrew Hilton, Technical Director at QuadroNation, said companies were in danger of losing thousands of pounds in revenue after recent studies showed almost one in four companies have suffered an outage that lasted more than one business day.

Amazon and Twitter are just two of the major brands that have been affected, having both experienced one full hour of outage earlier this week.

In order to combat the problem and after requests from their customer base, Andrew and the team have developed a web monitoring service entitled ‘UporNot’, which alerts businesses the minute they have an issue with their website, email server or any web accessible service for that matter.

Andrew said: “When a company suffers from IT downtime it means that it is having a direct affect on that business. Some firms can lose up to £10,000 an hour or even a staggering £1m a day, which means that the problem needs to be taken more seriously.”

“What we have now created is a tool to stop that from happening. The moment there is something wrong with a website, we are alerted and the problem can be rectified as soon as possible.”

The need for strategic IT support is becoming increasingly important as firms strive to provide high levels of service to retain long-standing customers.

Andrew added: “IT support companies are still as invaluable as ever to any business, however, if a site goes down, it has to be treated in a different way than when there is something wrong with an email system, for example and being aware of the issue is really the first step.”

UporNot, which has now gone live, has already attracted global interest as it provides its services to companies around the world.
