The VeriSign Security Certification Program can help reduce the number of separate security audits you have to go through each year. (Watch the Security Certification Program demo.)

The VeriSign Security Certification Program is the cornerstone of VeriSign’s compliance management solutions, which encompass:

  • Assessment services
  • Monitoring services
  • Vulnerability management services

The goal of the compliance management solutions is to help you better manage your ongoing compliance management practices.

A Single Assessment 
Government regulations and industry standards share many common elements. We’ve consolidated the most common requirements into a single program. We conduct a single enterprise compliance assessment covering many of the regulations and standards that apply to you. For an overview of the regulations and standards we can include, see Compliance and Your Business.

A Comprehensive Report 
We provide you with a comprehensive analysis report. The analysis is designed to satisfying the audit demands of any governmental regulatory agency, standards certification organization, business partner, or customer that wants to verify how you comply with each requirement.

Value to You

A Single Assessment to Satisfy Scores of Audits 
You face many audits each year. You don’t need to start from scratch for each one. We conduct a single, rigorous, and complete assessment. The Security Certification Program focuses on collecting and centralizing key audit results - so that they can be examined again and again whenever an audit is necessary.

Save Time and Money 
Centralizing key audit data means that you can provide reports of with the appropriate detail and in the appropriate format to auditors, regulators, industry groups, business partners - and any other organization that requires them. With centralized data, you save time and money without sacrificing compliance.

Quarterly Check-Ups 
We also perform quarterly check-ups to make sure you keep up to date as regulations and standards evolve.

Open Standards 
The Security Certification Program is based on open standards generally recognized throughout the industry. Certification means something not because we say so, but because you follow standards that are open and transparent.

Standard and Customized Reports 
We develop standard and customized reports that can satisfy government, industries, and partners.

How We Work

  1. We conduct a thorough compliance assessment.

For details, see Enterprise Compliance Assessments.

  1. We identify what you need to fix.

Our recommendations identify the requirements you need to satisfy in order to comply. We also rank them by how effectively they advance your business goals. We rate each recommendation by its cost-effectiveness and by how easy it is to implement.

  1. We conduct a complete audit.

After you’ve corrected the problems we’ve identified, we help asses whether you’re in compliance.

The Results

A Comprehensive Analysis Report 
After you pass the comprehensive audit, we provide you with a comprehensive analysis report certifying compliance.

The Security Compliance Repository 
You have access to a central database you can use to generate a custom report for any organization that requires an audit. You can produce reports in standard formats - such as the Visa CISP-MasterCard SDP-PCI Report of Compliance.

A Strategy 
You get a strategy for achieving compliance - not just a pass-or-fail audit. We help identify what you need to do immediately to comply - and we help you set goals for six months out so you remain compliant. We map out a complete plan for one and two years out to help you evolve as regulations change. We also help you track changes in your plan and assess its long-term effectiveness.

Quarterly Reviews 
We review your policies, procedures, and technical infrastructure once each quarter to make sure you remain compliant.
