Information Security Program Gives Professionals Step-by-Step Guide to Comply with State & Federal Security Laws

ProTracker Software Developed ISP Manual to Help Professionals Minimize Risk of
a Security Breach that Could be Costly and Devastating
HAMPTON, N.H.--(Business Wire)--
ProTracker Software, Inc., has introduced its Information Security Program
(ISP), a step-by-step guide to help professionals stay informed and comply with
recent federal and state regulatory changes. The implementation of a complete
ISP requires a thorough review of an entire IT environment so companies will be
in compliance with the law. Most importantly, the ISP Manual minimizes the risk
of a security breach that could be costly and devastating to a business.

The ISP Manual was developed from the stringent Massachusetts regulations (201
CMR 17.00), which has the most strict regulations in New England that affect
virtually every business in the region. This law requires that, if you have
personal information on one or more Massachusetts citizens, you must implement
the Massachusetts law - even if you are in New Hampshire, Maine or anywhere else
in the country.

"As a result of an onslaught of security breaches, many states are rapidly
enacting information security program laws that significantly impact the way
client personal information should be handled," said Warren J. Mackensen,
President of ProTracker Software. It is critical that professionals who work
with client personal information follow the steps outlined in our ISP Manual to
ensure they`re in compliance to protect themselves and their clients."

The ISP Manual was designed for CPAs, lawyers, IT consultants, and record
destruction vendors who all handle sensitive client personal information.
Professionals are unintentionally negligent when it comes to information
security and mistakenly feel secure storing client personal information and
emailing password-protected files. Hackers can more easily gain access to
confidential information and security breaches are more common, causing major
issues, unwanted costs, and loss of client loyalty.

The ISP Manual advocates proactive steps companies should take to become
compliant, facilitates the implementation of federal and state privacy rules and
regulations, and outlines how to:

* Identify administrative, technical and physical risks associated with personal
information security.
* Assess the security of servers, networks, laptops, flash drives, portable hard
drives, and personal digital assistants (PDAs).
* Implement e-mail encryption procedures to assure the security of personal
information.
* Train employees in information security procedures.
* Respond to a data loss incident.
* Conduct the required annual program review.
* Terminate employee access to personal information.

"The days of password-protecting a PDF file containing personal information and
sending it as an email attachment are over," said David Hodgdon, President of
Portsmouth Computer Group. "The ISP Manual from ProTracker Software covers
everything from soup to nuts, which is why we work so closely with Warren J.
Mackensen to provide details about the new regulations and the increased
security measures recommended for a solid Information Security Program."
