ClearPoint Metrics says its Security Performance Manager Version 2.0 enables IT and security executives to consistently and reliably measure, monitor and communicate the state, business impact and effectiveness of their overall IT governance, risk and compliance (GRC) initiatives.

Security Performance Manager provides a complete, automated and cost-effective view of an organization's security performance through the use of metrics and scorecards, says James Acquaviva, ClearPoint CEO.

"ClearPoint is doing for the CISO what integrated financial reporting and management systems do for the CFO," says Acquaviva. "Based on the best practices of our customers and industry experts, our solution allows customers to move beyond self assessments and surveys and deliver the hard facts and data that validate the state of their information security initiatives and enables better decision making. For the first time, organizations can confidently evaluate their security investments within the context of the enterprise and proactively align their initiatives that safeguard information assets with their business priorities."
