Compliance management software TCT Portal demonstrates time savings of 75% for assessment firms

ROCHESTER, MI, UNITED STATES, September 28, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Total Compliance Tracking (TCT), a global leader in compliance management software, today announced that it is reducing compliance assessment review time by 75 percent for compliance assessment firms. In its latest case study, TCT shows how it was able to help Information Security Management (ISM) streamline their workflow, reduce on-site assessment time, and improve client engagements.

Since 2003, Information Security Management (ISM) has provided security, risk, and compliance services to clients ranging from small companies to multinational conglomerates. ISM specializes in helping clients obtain compliance with frameworks such as ISO, HIPAA, PCI, NIST, and SSAE 18 SOC 2.

ISM was relying on tools that simply weren’t designed for the work they needed to do. They tried using a suite of homegrown tools that were built within Microsoft Access, Word, and Excel. While the solution solved some issues, it also created several new ones.

The repurposed platforms sometimes played well together and sometimes didn’t, leading to frustrating toil that took a physical and mental toll on ISM’s assessment team. It was a continual battle, and it made on-site visits grueling.

“We were going through 425 controls for PCI,” ISM president Joseph Kurfehs said. “We had to read them all. And they’re on a spreadsheet in a tiny little font, and you’re wearing glasses trying to focus in. Four days of that? You’re shot at the end of the engagement.”

ISM needed a comprehensive compliance management tool that would eliminate manual labor and frustrating workarounds, streamline client engagements, and make it easier to collaborate with clients. TCT’s compliance management software, TCT Portal, was ISM’s tool of choice.

TCT Portal reduced ISM’s assessment review time by about 75 percent, from four days with three or four assessors to just two days and two people. “I could really do it myself,” Kurfehs said, “but having another person on-site lets one person take breaks while the other assessor keeps things moving.”

“TCT Portal was built by people who have lived in the trenches of compliance, not by a generic software company,” TCT Founder Adam Goslin said. “The compliance tool’s flexibility allows assessment firms like ISM to work the way they want to work — during on-site or remote reviews and during report writing.”

TCT Portal made ISM’s client collaboration a breeze, as well. Assessors can track client progress through the system, and automation assigns tasks without manual intervention. “You no longer have to follow up and ask about the status,” Kurfehs said.

Goslin said that ISM’s results are typical for assessment firms that use TCT Portal to manage their clients’ compliance engagements. “On average, our solution provides more than four times the ROI an assessment firm needs to come out even on their investment with TCT Portal. Everything we do at TCT is designed to make people more efficient, happier, and more effective.”

TCT has published a case study on ISM’s results, available on TCT’s website.
