Content Compliance Solutions for Federal Government and eGovernment Websites

Capitol and FlagWhat is your strategy for meeting the mandate to deploy Web 2.0/Gov 2.0 technologies and at the same time ensuring you meet requirement for transparency and protection of private information?

What if you could automatically scan to ensure your websites support federal requirements for protection of personally identifiable information (FISMA, Privacy Act, E-Gov Act), accessibility (Section 508) and manage Operational Security risks?


As agencies develop and implement their Web 2.0/Gov 2.0 Government strategies, they are increasingly distributing information and processing customer service requests via the Internet or Intranets to meet their constituents' need for access to public service and/or information.

HiSoftware has been servicing the public sector for over a decade. We deliver end-to-end content compliance solutions that provide government agencies with a means to monitor content for potential compliance issues across the application – keeping information safe, within regulatory guidelines and appropriate.

HiSoftware Compliance Sheriff provides a powerful platform for managing content compliance to address Web Accessibility and other Web Governance issues including privacy, PII, SSI, Operational Security, inappropriate content and search engine optimization.
 

Is Your Content Putting Your eGovernment Site at Risk?

Regulatory Demands & Vulnerabilities

In a memo* on openness in government from President Obama to Federal agency directors the President stated that he is serious about creating a participatory, transparent and collaborative environment between our government and its citizens. With the strong push to move government services online, creating accessible citizen-centric Web services is going to become increasingly important to avoid penalties and litigation due to non-compliance. Additional, as agencies develop and implement their Web 2.0/Gov 2.0 strategies it creates additional challenges - not just for balancing accessibility requirements (Section 508) - but also meeting federal requirements for the protection of personally identifiable information and management of Operational Security (OPSEC) risks.

Content Management Adds to the Risk

Content Management Systems like SharePoint are being implemented to help manage and publish citizen-centric content. They are great collaboration tools because they let every stakeholder in an organization post and share their content. However, the wealth of online information from multiple input points can quickly spin out of control and make it a potential breeding ground for vulnerabilities. You probably have more hidden risk than you realize and it’s growing exponentially everyday.

Take back control of your content by translating your agency’s guidelines into a repeatable and enforceable process using the HiSoftware Compliance Sheriff content governance suite.

  • Balance the requirements for Transparency and Open Government with the protection of private information
