HiSoftware to provide accessibility and privacy compliance management solution for IRS's SharePoint intranet site
Nashua, NH (PRWEB) -- HiSoftware Inc. (www.hisoftware.com), a leading provider of Web content and social computing compliance solutions, today announced the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Enterprise Services, Infrastructure Architecture and Engineering team has awarded a contract to integrate HiSoftware Compliance Sherriff® for SharePoint® as part of its agency-wide Microsoft SharePoint 2010 implementation.
IRS will be using SharePoint 2010 as the backbone for its employee portal and to support a variety of applications across the agency. In addition to Section 508 accessibility requirements, the IRS Privacy Office and Chief Information Security Office also identified the need to manage content compliance for Personally Identifiable Information (PII), Financial Information and Sensitive Secure Information (SSI) within the SharePoint environment. HiSoftware Compliance Sheriff for SharePoint was chosen as the solution to manage compliance for these governance objectives.
HiSoftware will work with the IRS to install, implement, configure, customize and validate HiSoftware Compliance Sheriff across the IRS SharePoint Infrastructure. This will include identification and correction of 508 compliance deficiencies associated with the SharePoint implementation and configuration of the software to address both accessibility and privacy (PII and SSI) scenarios.
"SharePoint compliance has become a top issue for federal government agencies moving to this powerful collaboration platform," said Jeff Butts, Vice President of Sales and Marketing, HiSoftware. "HiSoftware provides an integrated solution that can block sensitive or inaccessible content before it enters a SharePoint production environment to help agencies like IRS manage compliance in this highly collaborative environment. We look forward to helping the IRS build an overall compliance strategy into their agency-wide SharePoint initiatives."
HiSoftware Compliance Sheriff provides users with a means to analyze content contributions for compliance issues across SharePoint websites, intranets, document libraries, email and social computing portals – keeping information safe, appropriate and within regulatory guidelines. HiSoftware has provided compliance solutions to the IRS since 2002 and has worked closely with their Information Resources Accessibility Program Office.
