Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) February 20, 2014 -- Modulo, a leading provider of technology governance, risk and compliance (GRC) solutions, announced today three new partnerships that expand Modulo’s presence in the retail, payment card and services, and energy industry sectors.

As the largest independent provider of Technology GRC solutions, Modulo has built an extensive network of over 80 partners worldwide that both use and deploy the award-winning Modulo Risk Manager software.

According to a newly released independent analyst report, Modulo’s solution “has great GRC breadth and depth, offering strong integration capabilities and addressing vertical market needs through strategic consulting and business partners. Modulo also has some of the most diverse use cases in the market.” (The Forrester Wave™: Governance, Risk and Compliance Platforms, Q1 2014, Chris McClean, Forrester Research Inc., January 27, 2014).
The new partnerships enable CSOs, CISOs, CIOs and CROs to benefit from the following industry-specific solutions:
• PCI DSS Assessments for Merchants, Payment Card Providers and Payment Service Providers: Level 1 merchants who process over 6 million Visa transactions a year must undergo a PCI assessment performed by a Qualified Security Assessor (QSA). Mandem uses Modulo Risk Manager to provide PCI QSA assessment consulting services including gap analysis, requirements scoping, audit automation and remediation. Mandem specializes in Information technology and IT security and threat management.

SigmaFlow automates evidence collection and validates against policies to ensure audit readiness.
