Business:
The Oregon Department of Human Services (DHS) helps people lead lives that are independent, healthy and safe. The organization employs approximately 10,000 people and provides direct services to more than one million citizens each year, including food benefits and medical coverage.
Challenge:
DHS must be able to demonstrate that information assets are secure to ensure the state continues to qualify for funding worth billions of dollars. Ensuring information governance across a diverse regulatory framework, however, was proving complex and time-consuming for the department’s information security office.
Solution:
CA Governance, Risk and Compliance Manager enables DHS to track its regulatory requirements and controls while CA Role and Compliance Manager controls the administration of business roles and access privileges. It now takes 15 minutes instead of three weeks to identify and document the information security controls that relate to a grant.
Result:
DHS can respond quickly to an evolving regulatory landscape and identify potential compliance breaches. This helps protect sensitive citizen data, optimize staff time and safeguard the receipt of grants.
