AMERICAN SYSTEMS defines information assurance and management through program management and controls design. We use the following methodologies to assess our customers' business environments for risks: records retention and management, information classification, business continuity management, and vendor risk management. We help our customers remediate these issues and build solid governance programs to control ongoing risk.
Our information and assurance and management teams build thorough compliance frameworks that identify and satisfy current and future regulations. Our comprehensive approach addresses ever-changing regulations that satisfy policy and procedural requirements.
First, we construct a current-state analysis of our customer's control environment and map it to the regulatory requirements. After collecting and examining all of the regulatory compliance issues that affect our customers, we develop programs, policies, and procedures to govern the systems housing information protected under the regulation. We systematically evaluate the processes our customers use to protect information and build control matrices to standardize information systems and risk management functions. Because of widespread reliance on information technology for financial and operational management systems, an effectively designed control environment is necessary. We use multiple control frameworks and industry best practices for our assurance solutions. Often, organizations must adopt a control framework or modify several to meet IT compliance requirements. AMERICAN SYSTEMS uses standard frameworks and guidelines, including COSO, CobiT, ITIL, CMMI, ISO17799 & 15489, and FFIEC auditing standards, to develop sound solutions.
By investing focused efforts on meeting mandated federal regulatory requirements, AMERICAN SYSTEMS’ customers leverage opportunities to maximize the return on investment and increase operational efficiencies. Because they use information classification, records retention and management, business continuity management, and vendor risk management, they achieve this goal.
