An Examination of Current Compliance Solutions

Currently, both the industrial and government sectors of our country have failed to effectively respond to new data screening requirements that have been imposed since September 2001. There are various solutions that organizations are using to comply with these new requirements, however the majority of these solutions are inefficient and ineffective. Some of the major weaknesses with the current solutions include:

Sensitive Watch Data is Stored in Unsecured Business Systems

Solutions are too Cost Prohibitive or Intrusive

Control of Private Information Is Relinquished to Central Systems

Watch Data is Rendered Useless by its release to the Public (SDN List)

These problems have exhibited themselves due to a “reactionary” response to the crisis and a tendency of vendors to “patch” added functionality into existing business systems.

Effective compliance requires a different approach. An effective solution needs to work with multiple business applications within the organization. It needs to secure government watch data. And, the privacy and integrity of sensitive information must be preserved.

The CoreCheck Security SuiteTM was designed with these points in mind.

CoreCheckTM allows organizations to consistently and rapidly comply with agency requests for verification and reports of suspicious individuals. CoreCheckTM quickly integrates with existing systems and maintains a private security model that minimizes unauthorized access. As a result, agencies and companies respond more effectively to changing requirements.

Some of the main strengths of the CoreCheck Security SuiteTM are:

CoreCheckTM is able to reduce operational and personnel costs because a single system audits multiple organizational database systems.
With a localized matching model, CoreCheckTM eliminates the wholesale distribution of private information.
CoreCheckTM provides a consistent, auditable record for organizations to demonstrate compliance.
By restricting system access and encrypting system data, CoreCheckTM secures government watch lists.
