Prevalent Networks has debuted Prevalent Compliance as a Service, a hosted platform for delivering services related to regulatory, security and standards compliance. The offering was developed as a managed service for the Symantec Control Compliance Suite (CCS). The vendor's new Policy Compliance Service (PCS) ties the Prevalent Policy Portal and Symantec Control Compliance Suite Policy Manager to Prevalent's Cloud Service Aggregation Platform. The service is deployed for end-user policy management at PolicyPortal.com. Also part of Prevalent Compliance as a Service is a Procedural Assessment Service (PAS), which links Symantec's Control Compliance Suite Response Assessment Manager to Prevalent's Cloud Service Aggregation Platform. Users can deploy both out-of-the-box as well as customized response assessment questionnaires for risk assessment, procedural controls management, security awareness effectiveness and testing on computer-based training. Another element of the new package, Fortify Managed Compliance, offers a hybrid cloud/on-premises management system for Symantec CCS Standards Manager, for clients that have already invested in on-premise equipment and licensing, or would prefer to keep portions of the environment in-house. The service can be purchased as a standalone offering, or as an add-on to Prevalent's Policy Compliance Service or Assessment Service.
