HiSoftware Compliance Sheriff™ – the Enterprise e-Governance Solution

AbilityNet has partnered with HiSoftware to provide HiSoftware Compliance Sheriff™ - a complete suite of solutions that enable you to create and manage corporate Web standards for accessibility, privacy, security, search engine optimization (SEO), site quality and performance.

Harness the power of SharePoint without the risk

Content Management Systems like Microsoft SharePoint Server are great collaboration tools. However this wealth of information from multiple users also represents a significant risk to your organisation.

Take back control of your content by translating your corporate guidelines into a repeatable and enforceable process using the Compliance Sheriff™ e-governance solution.

Compliance Sheriff™ addresses core areas of governance risk that your business must control and protect:

• Privacy – the unintentional disclosure of PII (Personally Identifiable Information) such as user account and credit card information
• Security – including the unauthorised posting of sensitive data such as restricted or embargoed information
• Brand integrity - the ability to cleanse outdated brand information (such as old logos or product names) and prohibit any future publication
• Social Media - to ensure that inappropriate or offensive language or imagery is not used in any content.
• Accessibility - of content including documents, images and web pages so that information is both compliant and available to all staff and customers.

Constantly check for compliance within websites, intranets, document libraries, email, social and collaborative media to stay ahead of the content avalanche.

Your unmanaged SharePoint content is putting your organisation at risk

Consider the level of risk represented by the range of unmonitored data across your websites and internal systems.

Usernames, passwords, credit card information and pin numbers are commonly stored on the intranet in the mistaken belief that they are not visible to other users. For example:

• A user sends an email message or uploads a document into SharePoint with their user name and password for a secure system. Compliance Sheriff™ will intercept such data and warn that the security breach exists.

Sensitive information is regularly published without the user realising the data remains available to users. For example:

• A PDF may have been redacted (with confidential information visually removed) but that data is still visible in a site search. Compliance Sheriff™ identifies the issue and stops the document being published.

Out of date or embargoed company information is often accidentally posted on a website or intranet. For example:

• A product is being rebranded. Prior to the launch date Compliance Sheriff™ prohibits publication of the new name or logo and, after launch, removes all instances of out of date data referring to the old brand.

An integrated approach

Compliance Sheriff™ integrates into the workflow ensuring that sensitive, offensive or non-compliant content is captured before it goes live. The tool will:

• Allow content authors to check their own work before submission
• Create automated workflows that check the content after submission, and prior to publication
• Run scheduled scans of sites to enable stakeholders and content authors to prioritize areas for improvement and address issues and concerns

The alternative to an automated approach is a manually-intensive, retrospective, search for all issues of compliance – at much higher cost and risk to your organisation. That is why AbilityNet recommends Compliance Sheriff™ as an essential component of any organisation’s e-governance strategy.

More on the Accessibility module

The Accessibility module empowers content managers to work collaboratively with developers and Web site architects to monitor and verify corporate Web standards for accessibility. It scans your Web site for over 172 accessibility checks including images, forms, and dynamic content. The results are then available in a powerful report which includes the exact locations of code issues, as well as alerts to elements that require manual inspection.

HiSoftware Compliance Sheriff™ can be used by your own web team to form an integral part of your quality assurance processes. It can also be used in combination with an AbilityNet expert accessibility audit.

Combining HiSoftware Compliance Sheriff™ with an expert accessibility audit

An automated checking tool – even one as sophisticated as HiSoftware Compliance Sheriff™ - can only partially check the accessibility of a site. AbilityNet consultants then undertake an expert accessibility audit and use the results from this full manual inspection of the pages of your site to update the automated scan results. With this unique, two-pronged approach, the resulting report reflects the full picture of the compliance level of your site in a powerful online format.
