Security, privacy and IT asset management have complex compliance requirements, and the costs associated with an incident are high. Therefore, it's critical for organizations to develop effective and efficient ways of managing risk and maintaining compliance.

Currently, many organizations rely on external consultants for help with assessments and adherence to legislation, standards and policies. However, this approach is not always efficient or cost effective. To solve this problem, Bell has introduced an Assessment Platform solution.

The Assessment Platform from Bell is a purpose-built application that provides a full range of assessments, analyses and reports to help streamline your organization's security and privacy assessment needs.

A role-based management and delegated administration model is included. This allows individuals within your organization to securely access the relevant organizational data; they'll get the information they need to mitigate risks and make effective business decisions.

The Assessment Platform currently includes three modules to choose from.

Privacy assessment manager – This module provides a detailed analysis of your organization's compliance to relevant privacy legislation. This application helps you complete and manage in-house privacy assessments, creates one repository of data to give you in-depth knowledge of your privacy posture, and addresses multi-jurisdiction privacy compliance when required.

Threat and risk assessment manager – This module examines specific areas within your organization to identify vulnerabilities, threats and risks. The automated process simplifies the completion of threat and risk assessments. Once the assessment is completed, a report identifies potential areas of risk and offers mitigation recommendations.

Payment card industry compliance assessment manager – Any organization that processes, stores and transmits credit card data must comply with the 12 requirements defined by the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS). This module automates and simplifies the completion of PCI assessments.
