SecureWorks Certification
January 2005 -- Hart Software has been designated a SecureWorks Certified Enterprise by SecureWorks Corporation, a leading internet security assurance company. SecureWorks Certification demonstrates an organization's achievement of a sound and proactive program for security and integrity.

"The SecureWorks designation is a major accomplishment that we're very pleased about. It reflects our commitment to the security of our systems, and our customers' data. As a leading provider of access to the three Credit Repositories--Trans Union, Experian and Equifax, we must provide such access safely. Ultimately, the privacy of individuals whose applications are being run through our access paths is at stake. We take that very seriously."- Lynn Hart.

What are other benefits our customers receive from being SecureWorks certified? They utilize systems that are not only secure and reliable, but are more efficient and flexible. That means our customers have access to more innovative products because we are liberated to develop them under more aggressive e-strategies.

To be certified under this program, Hart Software completed all phases of the SecureWorks certification process which addresses:

• The physical environment of Hart Software's critical devices, including all security features, power sources, ventilation and backup.
• Connectivity devices, including routers, firewalls, modems and wiring.
• The computing devices and operating systems in use.
• Human factors, including Hart Software's security policies, management procedures and training.

This SecureWorks service provides dedicated support from security analysts as well as access to the SecureWorks Monitor vulnerability alert service, the leading information source on current and emerging security issues, product vulnerabilities and threats.

The SecureWorks Enterprise security solution provides a unique program for assuring the ongoing security of critical systems and information. This program sets the standard for the secure conduct of e-business and demonstrates our organization's commitment to safeguarding its own information assets as well as those of its partners and customers.
