CALGARY, Alberta, Sept. 18 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Securac Corp.
("Securac") (OTC:SECU) (BULLETIN BOARD: SECU) an enterprise
governance, risk assessment and compliance software and services
vendor and provider of Acertus(TM), the leading integrated software
platform for governance, risk and compliance ("GRC"), announced
today its wholly-owned subsidiary, Securac Inc., has formally
agreed to purchase the assets of Sox Process, Inc. (SPI"), a
company based in Simi Valley, California. This acquisition of SPI
signifies another milestone in the successful history of Securac.
SPI's consulting practice and tools used in assisting companies in
meeting and maintaining compliance in accordance with The
Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) Act of 2002 ("SOX") is a strategic fit with
Securac's software solution Acertus(TM). Securac's Acertus(TM)
application module for SOX automates assessment of controls and
management of the audit process and capture of evidentiary
documentation as required by Sections 302, 404 and 906a of SOX. It
provides a framework for organizations in managing and measuring
their corporate performance to governance, risk assessments, and
compliance risks around SOX in both a qualitative and quantitative
manner. As well, it supports the development and implementation of
new or improved ICS systems and reporting as part of the ongoing
SOX process. The framework utilizes "best of Sector" assessment
methodologies such as ISO 27001/17799:2005 or COBiT for the
information requirements of 404a, or Basel II for financials, as
well as SOX specific content pre-populated in the powerful
Acertus(TM) knowledge bases and analytic engine. SPI's toolbox that
it has created -- the 'SOX in a box' approach provides companies
with a roadmap to navigate through the SOX process, assisting CEOs
and CFOs in making the compliance process easier, less expensive
and more rapidly completed -- will compliment our current knowledge
bases under our Acertus(TM) SOX module. "Securac is delighted to
have acquired such a company, like SPI, which is a complimentary
fit with our strategic direction and growth plans in the SOX
marketplace," states Terry Allen, Chief Executive Officer, Securac.
"Our acquisition of the assets of SPI, including its subject matter
expert, will accelerate Securac's market expansion strategy,
establishing ourselves as the industry leader and benchmark for
SOX; this will also compliment the corporate governance, risk
assessment and compliance management software solutions and
services we already provide to our valued customers. With this
acquisition, we now have and what we believe to be, the leading
edge governance, risk assessment and compliance software solution."
SPI's Chief Executive Officer, Art Talaie affirms, "for us this
alliance is an excellent fit. We recognized Acertus(TM) as a
complimentary software product and that the combination would
result in a powerful business proposition for the market empowering
customers with an end-to-end solution for governance, risk
management and compliance and offering an alternative to the
fragmented point solutions available in the market." Securac
welcomes the opportunity to build on all of SPI's existing
relationships. About Securac Securac is a vendor of corporate
