Protecting Personal, Confidential and Sensitive Data is Easier with New Janco Offering.

PARK CITY, Utah -- Janco has just released another in its series of Sarbanes-Oxley Tools, the Sensitive Information Policy. This new tool is a detailed 15-page policy that directly addresses the protection of personal data, confidential data and enterprise sensitive information. A full description can be found on the Information Technology Productivity Center (ITPC) Web site (http://www.itproductivity.org/sensitive.htm).

The policy contains a definition of standards and actions to implement them for secure networks. In addition it has guidelines for monitoring and testing networks and business record retention including e-mail. Victor Janulaitis, Janco's CEO, said, "Almost every day there is a story in the media about how personal data or business sensitive information is lost, improperly disclosed or stolen. The Sensitive Information Policy is something that gives every enterprise a set of rules that are easy to implement and follow." In adding, he said, "The Sensitive Information Policy addresses all of the Sarbanes-Oxley and California Personal Data requirements. This policy applies to the entire enterprise, its vendors, its suppliers (including outsourcers), and co-location providers and facilities regardless of the methods used to store and retrieve sensitive information (e.g., online processing, outsourced to a third party, Internet, intranet or swipe terminals)."

The IT Productivity Center is the information portal for business executives who manage the information technology function. Janulaitis said, "The ITPC portal provides many information technology management productivity tools to executives and IT professionals. The portal has templates and reports covering Sarbanes-Oxley to Information Technology Service Management (ITSM) and Disaster Recovery Planning."

Janco Associates, in addition to its consulting practice, maintains several other Web portals including www.e-janco.com and www.it-toolkits.com.
