Seattle - October 30, 2007 - Neupart, an industry leading information security risk management and awareness software company, and Talisen Technologies, an internationally recognized leader in systems integration, today announced a partnership to provide comprehensive enterprise risk management solutions at the SecureWorld Seattle information security conference. The solutions are available immediately, and are marketed under each company's respective brands.
The partnership agreement combines Neupart's next generation information security management suite, SecureAware, with the strategic services offerings in Talisen Technologies Risk Practices business. "We have a broad view of the capabilities needed to deliver comprehensive enterprise risk management," said John Stevens, Chief Risk Officer at Talisen Technologies, "Our services portfolio includes practices devoted to compliance, business continuity, security technology and the human security factor. We carefully evaluated software for information security management systems (ISMS), and Neupart's capabilities provided the best match for our services and clients." According to Neupart Inc. President Jim Reavis, "SecureAware provides a complete suite for policy, compliance, risk and awareness program management. Talisen's subject matter expertise in all of these areas will allow our mutual clients to manage their risk and information security programs with the benefit of the latest technologies and proven best practices."

They see the wisdom in leveraging best practices and standards," Pam Fusco, SecureWorld Expo keynote speaker and Neupart Advisory Board Member. "Neupart SecureAware brings these competing objectives together to help ISOs manage information security intelligently."

Among the key benefits of the joint partnership are versions of the SecureAware portal that have all modules customized by Talisen Technologies with the client's policies, risk profiles, compliancy mappings and awareness needs. The portal can even have the client's "look and feel" and can be delivered as an integrated software package or on demand via Talisen's 7x24 data center facilities.
