Lumension, a global provider of operational endpoint security, has partnered with Network Frontiers’ Unified Compliance Framework to help enterprises simplify and centralize compliance efforts.

The UCF rationalizes IT controls for more than 400 international regulatory requirements, standards, and guidelines into a single set of straightforward requirements that clearly map the many points where global, state, and industry regulations overlap. This enables organizations to easily define commonalities among regulatory bodies; to leverage policies, processes, and tools already in place; and to establish a streamlined, cost-effective plan to achieve continuous compliance across the enterprise.

The integration of Network Frontiers’ UCF and Lumension Risk Manager enables enterprises to manage compliance requirements more effectively by utilizing controls and standards that have been clearly defined and eliminate redundancy.

The UCF includes controls from a variety of regulations and guidelines, including Sarbanes-Oxley, Basel Data Security Standard, NASD Manual, HIPAA, FERC Security Program, Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, IRS Revenue Procedure, and Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.
