CoNetrix Incorporates COBIT, NIST, and PCI/DSS Standards into Tandem

CoNetrix (www.CoNetrix.com), a national security and technology consulting firm, has announced a new enhancement for the Information Security Policies module of their Tandem Security and Compliance software.  The new feature allows the policies to be mapped to the following standards: COBIT 4.1, NIST SP800-53 rev. 3, and PCI DSS vs. 1.2.1.

"We are pleased to be able to offer our customers the ability to map their policies to the standards they follow," said Neil Baldridge, Sr. VP and Manager of Security and Compliance Services.  "As the number and diversity of financial institutions using the Tandem software continues to increase, we recognized the need to reference additional guidance standards.  We hope this will make the Information Security Policies module even more useful and helpful for our customers."

The software was initially released with mappings to FDIC, OCC, OTS, NCUA, Federal Reserve, and FFIEC information security regulations, examination handbooks, and guidance.  CoNetrix plans to also map the Tandem software to other standards and regulations in the near future, including ISO/IEC.
