Pointsec, the global leader and the provider of the de facto standard for enterprise security software for laptop and desktop PCs, PDAs and smartphones, today announced that two Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) companies, Wipro Limited and ITC Infotech, have selected Pointsec(r) solutions to ensure compliance with existing and emerging government regulations regarding data protection. Wipro Limited, a leading global IT services company, and ITC Infotech, a leading Indian Business Process Solution company, have chosen to implement Pointsec solutions to meet or exceed their clients' requirements for data security and compliance with data regulation.
"BPO suppliers must handle sensitive and confidential information with the same care as their global outsourcing customers. Many of these companies are now using security as a competitive differentiator due to increasing pressure on their customers to demonstrate compliance with existing and emerging government regulations," said Peter Larsson, CEO of Pointsec Mobile Technologies. "Companies like Wipro and ITC Infotech take on important business processes for their clients, such as payroll and accounting, and it is critical that this information remains secure. As with our other customers, they have selected Pointsec because we offer strong security for all platforms that is quick to deploy and easy to use."
Wipro and ITC Infotech will use Pointsec solutions to secure data from unauthorized access and to meet their clients' demands for compliance with regulations involving data protection. In addition to U.S. and EU regulations such as the EU Privacy Directive and California SB 1386, Pointsec will ensure Wipro and ITC Infotech are compliant with local legislation such as India's Information Technology Act.
Wipro provides comprehensive IT solutions and services to Indian, Asia Pacific, European and U.S. markets, and specializes in systems integration, information systems outsourcing, package implementation, software application development and maintenance, and research and development services to corporations globally. As part of the ITC Group, ITC Infotech provides services to leading Fortune 500 firms with BPO and Offshore Outsourcing in a single integrated service platform.
