NHS specialist will focus on providing Courion’s solutions to manage access governance across UK
London, UK — June 6, 2011 — Courion Corporation, the leading provider of access risk management solutions that help organizations cost effectively deal with compliance and security risk, has selected eCulture Solutions as a Solution Partner in the UK to offer healthcare trusts the ability to improve their risk management strategies with automated identity and access governance (IAG) solutions.
eCulture Solutions specialises in providing IAG solutions to healthcare organisations and is an expert in serving NHS foundations in particular. The organisation is well-versed in the details of the Information Governance Toolkit — the NHS standard from Connecting for Health — which describes the required safeguards for, and appropriate use of, patient and personal information. By partnering with Courion to offer best-in-class user access management and compliance solutions, eCulture Solutions can help Trusts to define, assess, enforce and verify their access policies so that all user access is appropriate and compliant with policies.
"We've found that Courion's Access Assurance Suite™ addresses the guidelines set out by the NHS Information Governance Toolkit to safeguard personal health information more comprehensively than any other provider," said Paul White, managing director of eCulture Solutions. "Courion brings a wealth of expertise and understanding to the table. The company has been identified by Gartner as a Leader in this space for the past few years and has a very clear IAG focus. It is very refreshing for our customers to see a suite that is truly fit for this purpose."
"As well as monitoring users for accidental or malicious use of data, Courion's User Activity Manager integrates identity with reports and alerts, merging a unique identity profile to user activity information, so that managers are able to identify users who are not making full use of the systems at their disposal." added White.
"Confidential data, and access to it, is of huge importance for all UK government departments," said Marc Lee, EMEA sales director at Courion. "With eCulture Solutions, we have a partner that understands what NHS managers specifically need, and what the Information Governance Toolkit requires, at a very detailed level."
Courion's unique approach to identity, access and compliance management ensures that only the right people have the right access to the right resources and are doing the right things.
