Review: VigilEnt Policy Center

Review: VigilEnt Policy Center

Recently acquired by NetIQ, VigilEnt Policy Center provides a policy management tool that ensures users are aware of their responsibilities while providing solid policy control across the company network.

This is a corporate-level security solution and requires a user database to allow you to import users so that user groups can be established. The policies can then be set for these groups, with users being required to answer questions to establish understanding and compliance. Logs are kept to view user input and also to define problem areas. This performance-related system means that users know how to use company data and they learn what is required of them, while the administrator can see statistics and reports. Users not complying can be identified and an email can be sent to them to remind them of its significance. This ensures that not only do your employees comply with your policies, but your company can prove compliance with the regulators and specifically with ISO 17799.

You can stipulate certain user rights to allow for policies to be reviewed prior to publication and distribution. But of course you may use pre-written policies, amend them or create your own, as required by your own particular corporate needs.
