whitepaper Canada Implements Corporate Governance: Bill 198 and Internal Controls for Technology2008-09-11 Tripwire
  Much has been written about the internal control and disclosure requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act ("SOX") in the United States following many high-profile cases of corporate malfeasance and deceptive practices. Not surprisingly, Canada has enacted its own solution to today's governance and financial reporting requirements, factoring in the US experience and their requirements, officially known as Bill 198. Although Bill 198 (like SOX) does not directly address IT controls, the law has significant IT and information security implications because most companies' financial reporting and operations depend heavily on information technology.

whitepaper SOX Compliance - Purchasing Departments Face Intense Scrutiny2008-09-02
  The Sarbanes-Oxley Act, SOX, is an on-going migraine headache for corporate America because compliance is expensive, confusing and increasingly stringent. Companies are justifiably nervous about the uncertainty surrounding internal controls since no governing bodies have precisely determined what compliance with Section 404 actually means. Purchasing functions, especially, come under close scrutiny during a SOX audit because this is the place where fraud can easily occur. More than ever, finance leaders - like CFOs, Comptrollers and Internal Auditors - need to know the source of the data they use, and they need to understand how the systems work in order to gather reliable, accurate business data.

whitepaper Henry Ford Health System Improves Patient Safety by Relieving User Woes With Imprivata OneSign2008-09-01 Imprivata
  Seconds matter at Michigan's world-class Henry Ford Health System, where delays caused by mistyped passwords and application lockouts are antithetical to quality patient outcomes. Given the patient safety risks and the need to be HIPAA compliant, a solution was critical. At the time, there weren't any funds allocated for a solution because they were in the middle of a budget cycle. Regardless, they began to refamiliarize themself with the Single Sign-On (SSO) market, which they'd investigated previously but abandoned due to cost. Although Bonner completed a due diligence investigation of four vendors, Imprivata was impressive from the start. Right off the bat, their questions were answered during the Web demo.

whitepaper Providing Secure and Convenient Bedside Access to Patient Data2008-09-01 Imprivata
  Spencer Hospital is a 99-bed facility that is complemented by two family-practice clinics, two dialysis centers, the Abben Cancer Center, and a new cosmetic and reconstructive surgery clinic. To satisfy security and HIPAA requirements, the IT department set fairly short time-outs for viewing patient data screens. Though this ensured data would not be visible for an undue amount of time, it also impeded productivity. Spencer Hospital's director of IT and his team began evaluating potential vendors, they considered software-based solutions from CA and Citrix, and on the advice of their partner, CDW, they included Imprivata's OneSign appliance in the evaluation process. Over a period of 90 days, they sequentially implemented each solution on a trial basis of 30 days.

whitepaper Integrating Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) With Single Sign-On (SSO) for Convenience, Security and Cost Savings2008-09-01 Imprivata
  Since 1976, Box Butte General Hospital (BBGH), - a non-profit, critical access facility based in Alliance, Nebraska - has been serving the needs of residents and visitors of Box Butte County. The hospital's small IT staff quickly recognized the potential impact on productivity and security, and knew they needed a way to enable convenient access to all applications. Not only did they need to prevent clinicians from sharing or writing down passwords in light of HIPAA regulations, they wanted to ensure optimal productivity and extract the most value possible from their electronic medical records initiative. The hospital's IT Director attended Imprivata OneSign's appliance-based solution demonstration at the annual HIMSS Conference and knew immediately it was the right solution.

whitepaper Using Email Encryption to Enforce Security Policies for PCI, GLBA & HIPAA Compliance2008-08-27 Proofpoint
  Ensuring your organization complies with today's increasingly complex regulations and industry mandates around email and data security can be both a legal and technical mine field.

whitepaper Compliance and Beyond: Toward a Consensus on Identity Management Best Practices2008-08-01 Imprivata
  When the U.S. Congress passed the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) of 1996, For more than a decade, government and industry bodies around the world have issued a growing number of regulations designed - in whole or in part - to ensure the security, integrity and confidentiality of personal and corporate data. These mandates span a range of industries, from financial institutions to healthcare providers to utilities firms to retailers and beyond. Regulations are often mandatory and compliance must be verifiable. This white paper explores these compliance-driven best practices, how OneSign solutions support them, and how prioritizing their implementation makes good business sense beyond the fulfillment of compliance requirements.
