Vigilant Software, following the successful launch of the vsRisk™ ISO27001 compliance tool at Infosecurity Europe 2007, has launched a complementary software tool for IT consultants and information security specialists, called vsRisk Consultant Edition (vsRCE™) (http://www.itgovernance.co.uk/products/1746 ) which is a powerful new software product that will enable information security consultants to deploy vsRisk as their preferred risk assessment tool in up to 10 different clients.

Targeted at specialist consultants dealing with ISO27001 compliance, vsRCE is an affordable and intuitive risk assessment management tool for the IT consultant community that allows consultants the ability to directly support their clients' risk assessment activity from an off-site location. Clients are allowed by vsRCE to create and export risk assessment files that can be analysed on the consultants' own workstations or laptops, and then re-imported into the client's own software.

Each consultant which must had purchased its own copy of vsRisk, is allowed by the software to to manage up to ten separate risk assessments or risk assessment in up to ten different organisations. Transferring an important element of the work to the consultant and ensuring that the work of the project team can be monitored more closely, vsRCE, by working in harmony with its sister application vsRisk, will dramatically reduce the time and effort it takes for companies to achieve ISO27001 compliance.
   
vsRCE supports ISO/IEC27002 (17799), in addition to supporting ISO/IEC27001; complies with BS7799-3:2006; conforms to ISO/IEC TR 13335-3:1998 and NIST SP 800-30; and complies with the UK's Risk Assessment Standard.

Vigilant Software is a joint venture between the one-stop-shop for books, tools and information on ISO27001 compliance, IT Governance Limited, and an award-winning developer of risk management software tools, Top Solutions (UK) Limited.
