Axentis Vice President to Present at ISACA's Fall Conference.

Brett Curran to Outline Best Practices for Implementing Enterprise GRC 

CLEVELAND -- Axentis, providers of the industry's most comprehensive and widely deployed governance, risk and compliance (GRC) management solution, announced today that Brett Curran, vice president of GRC and privacy practices, will be presenting at the Information Systems Audit and Control Association (ISACA) Fall Conference on September 17, 2007.

All too often the project-by-project approach to risk management taken by companies lead to silos and inefficiencies. In his presentation, "Project Risk Management," Mr. Curran will discuss tips and best practices for implementing an enterprise-wide GRC management program by addressing top-priority risks first followed by other high-risk areas. Mr. Curran will also answer commonly asked questions regarding establishing, maintaining and leveraging a compliance initiative, such as:

* What is governance, risk and compliance?

* What are the greatest challenges to achieving and sustaining enterprise GRC and how can an organization overcome them?

* How can technology support GRC management?

* What are the business benefits to implementing enterprise GRC?

* What are the key steps to planning and executing a GRC program?

"With the increase in industry regulations like Sarbanes Oxley and HIPAA, it is critical that organizations understand and prioritize the risks affecting their business so they may address them in a systematic and effective manner," said Brett Curran. "The goal of this presentation is to give managers the tools necessary to tackle even the most complex regulatory challenges and to put that experience to good use when addressing everyday GRC challenges."
