Prevari Launches Technology Risk Manager Focus Groups - Asks for Development and Application Feedback from SarbOx and Risk Professionals
Technology Risk Measurement firm, Prevari, launches a series of Focus Groups to gain feedback on its Technology Risk Manager tool from risk and Sarbanes-Oxley thought leaders.
Minneapolis, MN (PRWEB) August 18, 2005 -- Prevari, Inc. (http://www.Prevari.com), a
company dedicated to improving the way businesses manage IT risk and regulatory
compliance requirements, has today announced the launch of a series of focus
groups designed to gain feedback from risk and Sarbanes Oxley thought leaders in
regards to the features, and additional requirements, of its Technology Risk
Manager.
The Technology Risk Manager is a quantitative IT risk
measurement system and management tool designed to anticipate the impact of
future IT implementations on organizational security risk levels.
“In our
discussions with users, we found that the Technology Risk Manager could
effectively be used to conduct a quantitative Sarbanes Oxley gap analysis,” said
Jerry Jeschke, Chief Operating Officer. “In response to this unique application,
we've determined that a series of focus groups will help us gain deeper insight
to requirements and enable us to expand our development vision - directly in
response to market needs.”
Prevari currently deploys the Technology Risk
Manager at organizations, such as First Minnesota Bank, to provide a predictive
view of technology risk based upon a network's core software.
“As a
technology scientist and developer of the Technology Risk Manager I realize how
important it is to gain insight to additional requirements directly from the
people who may be using this product,” said Dr. Martin Carmichael, Chief
Scientist, Prevari. “A series of online focus groups allows us to gain feedback
from numerous risk professionals in a condensed period of time.”
As a
thank you to qualified focus group participants, Prevari will offer a
complimentary technology risk analysis of a subset of their technology
environment. This objective view will provide the participants with a “first
hand” understanding of how a measured and quantifiable process can provide value
within their own environment.
Model-based simulations will help to
demonstrate how technology improvements will provide true value to their
compliance and risk mitigation initiatives.
Focus Groups will be held
online and via teleconference on
* Wednesday, August 24 - 8 PST, 9 CST,
11EST, and
* Thursday, September 8th - 8 PST, 9 CST, 11EST
