Fremont, CA: Ostendio, a global leader in providing integrated risk management software, and A-LIGN, a security and compliance provider, announced that A-LIGN is joining the MyVCM Auditor Connect marketplace, offering clients more choices in their third-party security and risk management audit firms.

MyVCM Auditor Connect reforms the audit process, rendering spreadsheets, third party file shares, and storage devices effectively obsolete. MyVCM Auditor Connect connects the auditor and customer with one platform where they can share real-time evidence in a secure location. Unlike legacy methods of conducting audits, Ostendio MyVCM offers access to evidence and documents that are easy to update, always available, and optimized for collaboration. Customers being audited can monitor and track progress in real-time, and the increased collaboration and efficiency help save both auditors and customers in both time and cost.

"MyVCM Auditor Connect marketplace is already changing the way security auditors and customers work together. It is a significant step forward in modernizing an outdated process," said Grant Elliott, CEO and Chairman of Ostendio. "We are pleased that A-LIGN is joining the marketplace and connecting with customers who are looking for forward-thinking, professional security and compliance firms to handle their audit process."

By joining the MyVCM Auditor Connect marketplace, A-LIGN can provide prospective clients with clear and transparent pricing based on client-specific requirements and interact with clients directly in the platform. Throughout the entire audit process, Ostendio MyVCM will manage documents and simplify future audits by maintaining relevant company information securely.

The number of data breaches and theft of individuals' crucial information continues to snowball, and companies are realizing that securing data and being able to demonstrate that compliance to international standards is a business imperative. Certifications such as SOC 2, HITRUST, and FedRAMP are gaining popularity as they set standards for compliance. Government regulations such as GDPR in Europe and CCPA in California have also increased the awareness of the need for data privacy.
