Enhanced Security Benchmark Service Continues CompuCom’s Trusted Security Advisor Role

CompuCom Security Benchmark evolves to help clients address evolving compliance requirements

DALLAS — December 15, 2010 — CompuCom Systems Inc., the leading IT outsourcing specialist, has enhanced its Information Security Benchmark service that enables organizations to measure security efforts. With more than a decade of delivering this service and having performed hundreds of benchmark services, major companies and industry associations have continually relied upon CompuCom.

“The benchmark allows IT groups to make the intangible, tangible by taking the mystery out of what actions should be taken and the results of those actions — how a security initiative impacts business from both a security and investment viewpoint,” said Andy Deltuvia, CompuCom vice president of professional services.

New enhancements measure the maturity of controls and practices as recommended by ISO/IEC 27001 and 27002 and include guidance using the exact language of the international standards to increase consistency and minimize interpretive errors. Data collection tools and graphical reporting are also improved to increase efficiency and enable chief information security officers to comply with standards and establish due care within their industry.

Organizations using the enhanced benchmark are already experiencing benefits:

• Fewer resources are needed to document and meet new compliance requirements. 
• Security leaders can more easily communicate and drive understanding among executives and auditors through enhanced tools and clearer graphical representations. 
• The identification and visualization of gaps in due care and compliance help organizations build consensus around initiatives — connecting initiatives to business requirements.

To showcase the recent enhancements and commemorate the use of the benchmark over the past 15 years, individual organizations and industry associations that have previously used the service may schedule a complimentary consultation by contacting CompuCom. During this session the prior study, regardless of age, will be reviewed in the context of the current ISO/IEC 27001 and 27002 standards.
