GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., May 23, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Quark Software
(https://www.quark.com/), the global provider of content automation,
intelligence and design software, today announced it has successfully renewed
its ISO 27001 ISM certification, ensuring all processes, systems and people
across the organization are adhering to this security standard. The company's
own cloud-based content automation platform, Quark Publishing Platform (QPP
NextGen) (https://www.quark.com/products/quark-publishing-platform) plays a key
role in ensuring successful corporate policy management every day and directly
contributed to a speedy and accurate audit renewal process. The certificate
reinforces a corporate and people commitment to security practices and protocols
that keep information assets protected from the most sophisticated threat
vectors in today's AI era.
"AI has intensified the threat landscape which reinforces why it's so crucial to
have modern information security initiatives and practices in place that
emphasize a dedication to security for our enterprise customers and across our
organization," said Leigh Weston, Vice President of Risk Management & Compliance
at Quark. "Obtaining ISO 27001 recertification not only shows our organizational
commitment to protecting sensitive information and complying with industry-
leading security practices, but also validates that as a company we are
executing the right security practices efficiently so we can adapt fast to any
emerging threat or vulnerability."
Receiving ISO 27001 certification, an information security management system
(ISMS) standard, ensures Quark has the policies, processes, procedures, systems
and people in place to manage information security risks in a structured and
systematic way. It also confirms that Quark has implemented adequate and
proportionate security controls. "As part of the certification process,
employees were asked about our security policies. It was exciting to hear that
our people are motivated, enthusiastic in showing of their areas of
responsibility, and truly understand and follow system and process procedures
which gave the auditors confidence that our people are living our security
processes in real time," added Weston.
Quark's security processes are truly embedded within the global organization.
And using content automation tools available within the company's own enterprise
content lifecycle management (ECLM) software QPP NextGen, they were able to
update its ISO policies and process the most granular level of audit detail
requirements in super-fast time.
Project details, key benefits and ROI of Quark's own ECLM use case example
include:

  * Save 25% of time gathering SME input compared to traditional approaches.
    This included sending out individual components of entire documents for

input and review - as opposed to sending the whole document - which included

    email notification directly from the editing tool.
  * Save 30% of time on merging changes across multiple documents. This
    encompassed evaluating changes from multiple copies of documents with SME
    feedback with the power to seamlessly compare changes and versions for 100%
    accuracy.

* Save 40% of time on formatting documents following changes and for different

    product sets compared to manual approaches.
  * Automate and streamline IT Policy creation processes for more than 75

documents. This included sharing published documents across a geographically distributed team of SME's and management approvers and track usage patterns.

  * Replace traditional Word editing and PDF publishing with a sharing approach
    via Microsoft Teams and SharePoint collaboration tools to streamline
    workflows and ensure stakeholder input and approvals.
