Avior Computing Announces ClearView--Automated Compliance Matrix, a New Automated and Dynamic Compliance Mapping Solution.

Avior Brings SaaS Model to Compliance Mapping with ClearView ACM Solution

NASHUA, N.H. -- Avior Computing, Inc., announced today the immediate availability of Avior ClearView[TM] a new patent-pending software as a service (SaaS) automated compliance mapping solution. ClearView is designed to reduce compliance costs for organizations impacted by multiple regulations and standards.

ClearView provides dynamic and automated mapping between specific regulatory compliance requirements, standards and frameworks, controls, and assessment questions. Mapping multiple regulations to common controls and assessment questions is key to reducing compliance costs, but it is a complex and continuous undertaking. ClearView represents a next-generation, analytics-based approach to the compliance mapping challenge.

The Avior ClearView solution removes this ongoing burden from organizations, enabling them to maintain dynamic and automated compliance mappings without requiring a dedicated staff. As changes to regulations and standards occur, Avior makes regular updates to the ClearView dynamic and automated mapping solution. ClearView removes the redundancy in multiple compliance regulations, enabling organizations to assess once, comply many times. Avior ClearView also provides the ability to perform accurate and consistent gap analysis across all regulations.

ClearView is delivered as a SaaS solution, allowing organizations to quickly adopt ClearView and see results. The ClearView service supports multiple regulations, standards, and frameworks including:

"For many organizations, mapping of multiple regulations to controls and assessment questions and maintaining these mappings over time is a struggle," said Jay Cline, President of Minnesota Privacy. "Avior's approach in delivering a dynamic mapping solution will reduce this burden."

Because ClearView is an SaaS application, Avior clients do not have to undertake costly professional service projects to maintain mappings as with other static, brittle approaches to compliance mapping.

"Mapping of compliance regulations, standards, controls, and assessment questions is a significant problem area for organizations," said Scott Crawford, Research Director, Security and Risk Management, Enterprise Management Associates. "SaaS offerings in this area should find ready adoption, as potential customers look to achieve a more rapid time-to-value."

Avior ClearView is complementary to Avior's BenchMark compliance process management solution. ClearView also interoperates with popular GRC platforms and policy management systems, and greatly enhances the ROI of these products.

"Our customers have told us they need a dynamic, automated compliance mapping solution that significantly reduces costs for compliance programs" said Steve McCalmont, Avior Computing CEO. "As an SaaS application, ClearView will interoperate with governance, risk and compliance (GRC) platforms and existing policy management products, and will greatly enhance their ROI."

ClearView is affordably priced based upon the regulations and standards required. Multiple subscription options are available, including monthly, quarterly, and annual payment plans.
