We get it. We completely understand why you still use Excel as an assessment and audit tool. We suffered through it just the same but we believe that working smarter and not harder which is why we invented ITAM.

The IT Audit Machine (ITAM) is the patent pending, industry changing assessment questionnaire creation tool designed specifically for the governance, risk and compliance (GRC) market space but where infinite possibilities exist even outside of the GRC and cybersecurity realms due to the intelligence and simplicity of the patent pending ITAM application framework.

Typical usage includes Audit and Compliance Assessments associated with FedRAMP, PCI DSS, HIPAA, Sarbanes Oxley, ISO 27001 and all others; Risk Management Assessments associated with ISO 27005, NIST Special Publications and all others; and Governance and Policy Development to describe a few but not all possible use cases.

Excel has big limits in space, accessibility, presentation, sustainability and formatting making it a poor choice for assessment and audit work. ITAM has flipped that paradigm upside-down with Big Data management, collaborative SaaS access, theme driven aesthetics, long term analytics and trending functionality, intelligent logic and notifications and so much more.

Our GRC solutions break industry paradigms that have plagued both client organizations and service providers alike. We’d like to show you how we have taken our real-world expertise and created GRC solutions that are being touted as game-changing technology. Call Continuum GRC software solutions today at 1-888-896-7580 and schedule a demonstration.

Simply put, Excel is so old-school and ITAM is so cool-school!

The impacts of Reactive -vs- Proactive cybersecurity is very real!

Reactive -vs- Proactive; is there really a benefit to business? After correlating years worth of industry data the business and consumer impacts are quite clear but illustrating this information is difficult. We have created this infographic to help you make the business case for being proactive about security. After all … Lazarus Alliance is Proactive Cybersecurity®!

What should be painfully obvious is that by taking proactive steps you avoid about 96% of all breach potential. While there is no such thing as a perfect solution you will be significantly less susceptible to cyber crime and not as likely to be in a reactive response.

While holistic governance in security, privacy, risk and cyber-law is increasingly complex and you are charged with delivering GRC guidance to your organization that they understand. The security industry has been conditioned to accept the “inevitable breach” and engage a reactive incident response plan. We have changed that paradigm in part with ITAM. The IT Audit Machine gives you everything you need to succeed. The Americas, Europe, Asia, MENA or wherever strong IT security policies and holistic GRC is needed and we deliver the foundation your company needs.

Federal cybersecurity breach has left millions of American citizens as casualties. Lazarus Alliance responds with proactive cyber-crime prevention.

Lazarus Alliance ups the ante with proactive cybersecurity weapons in the corporate arsenal to fight cybercrime, corporate fraud, espionage and criminal cyber-misconduct.

The egregious revelations following this security breach is that the Office of Personnel Management did not have even entry-level cybersecurity controls in place as reported on June 4, 2015 by NBC affiliate KPNX 12 News and many other outlets is proof that it’s time for the U.S. to take strong action to harden its technological infrastructure with proactive measures instead of the reactive posture demonstrated today.

KPNX went on to report that “Fundamental controls missing that facilitated this massive security breach affecting millions across the federal space were identified as a lack of data encryption, multifactor authentication and modern endpoint computing platforms all of which are critical in preventing cyber breaches and criminal misconduct.”

Michael Peters, CEO of Lazarus Alliance said “Proactive cybersecurity measures taken through competent IT risk, audit & compliance and governance assessments coupled with proven assessment tools like the IT Audit Machine are all known to prevent about 96% of all breach potential.”

“As long as public and private organizations remain reactive instead of proactive in their approach to cybersecurity, they will continue to fail the constituents they work to protect. This federal cyber data breach is a painful reminder that not enough is being done even at minimal levels.” said Peters.

Cyber-crime prevention is of paramount concern to the federal government and organizations of all sizes, all industries and in all parts of the world. Lazarus Alliance put its extensive experience in cybercrime and fraud prevention in the governance, risk and compliance (GRC) spaces to work for the federal and global business community.

“Survey after survey shows that simple and intermediate controls prevent espionage and cyber-crime and yet breach reports are escalating. These criminal acts could have been prevented through a proactive cybersecurity plan. Lazarus Alliance is proactive cybersecurity.” continued Peters.

Lazarus Alliance’s primary purpose is to help organizations attain, maintain, and demonstrate compliance and information security excellence, in any jurisdiction. Lazarus Alliance specializes in IT security, risk, privacy, governance, cyberspace law and compliance leadership solutions and is fully dedicated to global success in these disciplines.
