Federal Government Solutions
 | What is your strategy for meeting the mandate to deploy Web 2.0/Gov 2.0 technologies and at the same time ensuring you meet requirement
for transparency and protection of private information?
What if you could automatically scan to ensure your websites support federal requirements
for protection of personally identifiable information (FISMA, Privacy Act, E-Gov
Act), accessibility (Section 508) and manage Operational Security risks? |
As agencies develop and implement their Web 2.0/Gov 2.0 Government strategies, they
are increasingly distributing information and processing customer service requests
via the Internet or Intranets to meet their constituents' need for access to public
service and/or information.
HiSoftware has been servicing the public sector for over a decade. We deliver end-to-end
content compliance solutions that provide government agencies with a means to monitor
content for potential compliance issues across the application – keeping information
safe, within regulatory guidelines and appropriate.
HiSoftware Compliance Sheriff provides a powerful platform for managing content
compliance to address Web Accessibility and other Web Governance issues including
privacy, PII, SSI, Operational Security, inappropriate content and search engine
optimization.
Regulatory Demands & Vulnerabilities
In a memo* on openness in government from President Obama to Federal agency directors
the President stated that he is serious about creating a participatory, transparent
and collaborative environment between our government and its citizens. With the
strong push to move government services online, creating accessible citizen-centric
Web services is going to become increasingly important to avoid penalties and litigation
due to non-compliance. Additional, as agencies develop and implement their Web 2.0/Gov
2.0 strategies it creates additional challenges - not just for balancing accessibility
requirements (Section 508) - but also meeting federal requirements for the protection
of personally identifiable information and management of Operational Security (OPSEC)
risks.
Content Management Adds to the Risk
Content Management Systems like SharePoint are being implemented to help manage
and publish citizen-centric content. They are great collaboration tools because
they let every stakeholder in an organization post and share their content. However,
the wealth of online information from multiple input points can quickly spin out
of control and make it a potential breeding ground for vulnerabilities. You probably
have more hidden risk than you realize and it’s growing exponentially everyday.
