San Diego, CA — March 28th , 2007 —Secure Vantage Technologies, a leading provider of security solutions, announces a new Compliance Security Suite for Microsoft System Center Operations Manager.  The new Secure Vantage suite seamlessly extends Microsoft System Center Operations Manager 2007 and the Audit Collection Service, providing powerful operations and reporting capabilities that transform Operations Manager 2007 into an advanced compliance and security management tool. The new Secure Vantage Compliance Security Suite includes security alerting for key controls, expert knowledge guidance, advanced forensic reporting capabilities and compliance monitoring modules for regulations such as CoBITs, FISMA, HIPAA, ISO, PCI, SOX and others.

The launch of Operations Manager 2007 introduces a new standard in security event collection, the Audit Collection Service (ACS). While ACS finally makes it possible for enterprises to collect and store all security events, the overall value is in how the data is used and how well it is maintained.  To complement the ACS infrastructure, Secure Vantage has therefore built its new Compliance Security Suite to analyze and maintain the security information collected, optimizing the user experience. The suite includes libraries of reports and expert guidance, as well as providing archiving and consolidated reporting tools to assist the management of the very large quantities of security data that must be warehoused.

“Customers who have worked with Operations Manager and ACS realize its possibilities for security and compliance monitoring and are looking for expert tools that will allow them to maximize the potential of this exciting new infrastructure”, said  Jeremiah Beckett, President of Secure Vantage Technologies, “Overlaying the Secure Vantage Compliance Security suite is simple; System Center customers are already implementing powerful security and compliance solutions suitable both for security professionals and operations staff new to security.”

“Over the past year Secure Vantage solutions on Microsoft Operations Manager 2005 have added considerable value to our IT compliance efforts. Now we are looking at Operations Manager 2007 and are excited to see how Secure Vantage’s solutions have expanded in scope and depth to provide even more functionality.” said Jeff Skelton, Manager of Enterprise Management Center at Stewart Transaction Solutions, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Stewart Information Services Corporation, a real estate information and transaction management company. 

“The new Audit Collection Service in Microsoft System Center Operations Manager provides a new standard in event collection for our customers,” said Larry Orecklin, General Manager of System Center Marketing at Microsoft Corp. “Secure Vantage’s complementary range of security solutions will greatly assist customers in using System Center to its fullest potential.”

Microsoft has selected the Secure Vantage Compliance Security Suite for use in conjunction with Operations Manager 2007 to manage the operational health and security of the main public network at the Microsoft Management Summit this year (MMS 2007). The solution is being showcased at the main CommNet operations center.  Additionally Secure Vantage will be demonstrating a full range of compliance and security solutions for System Center and Microsoft Operations Manager at the MMS Expo Pavilion.
