Lafayette, CA (PRWEB) April 20, 2015 -- Unified Compliance, developer of the only patented compliance database framework, and (ISC)²®, the largest not-for-profit membership body of certified information and software security professionals with over 100,000 members worldwide, today announced a version of the Common Controls Hub™ exclusively for the global (ISC)² membership.

Commoncontrolshub.com provides (ISC)² members with rapid access to a massive data repository of more than 90,000 individual mandates from 800-plus laws and standards from around the globe. Built on the Unified Compliance Framework®, the Common Controls Hub SaaS portal gives compliance professionals the ability to centrally scope, define, and maintain regulatory demands online. They can now automatically compile custom, harmonized control lists in minutes by vertical industries, market segments, and geographies. When (ISC)² members subscribe to the Hub through their log-in at isc2.CommonControlsHub.com, they will receive a 10 percent rebate.

“Since joining the (ISC)² team in December 2013, I have focused on finding ways to serve our membership by introducing more exclusive benefits aimed at helping them in their careers,” says Erich Kron, CISSP-ISSAP, HCISPP, director, Membership Relations and Services, (ISC)². “Offering access to Unified Compliance's Common Controls Hub at a discounted rate will help many of our members in their daily jobs by providing them with a convenient platform to help streamline and assess policies and procedures as they relate to the complex myriad of regulatory requirements.”

“Every (ISC)² member should have access to the Unified Compliance Framework through the Common Controls Hub — and know enough about it to leverage the Common Controls through their compliance work. Even if (ISC)² members don't subscribe, they can certainly use the free account available through (ISC)² for compliance research,” says Craig Isaacs, CEO of Unified Compliance.
