Nashua, N.H. — July 17, 2007 —
HiSoftware (www.hisoftware.com), a
leading provider of software,
services and managed operation
solutions that monitor and optimize
Web content governance, quality and
regulatory compliance, today
announced the release of Compliance
Sheriff™ version 2.0, an enterprise
management solution that provides
testing and reporting for
standards-based policies including
accessibility, privacy and now site
quality. HiSoftware Compliance
Sheriff allows organizations to
integrate a comprehensive and
automated solution for managing Web
Governance standards as part of
market-revenue expansion, increased
social awareness and a stronger
corporate Risk Management strategy.
HiSoftware President and CEO,
Kurt A. Mueffelmann, said, “We are
pleased to release Compliance
Sheriff v2.0 with the addition of
the site quality option to allow
companies to not only monitor for
regulatory compliance, but just as
importantly the overall health of
their Web site. Compliance Sheriff
allows any organization to deliver a
high-quality user experience and
maintain a best-of-breed Web site in
an easy-to-use, cost-effective
application.”
Compliance Sheriff was developed
to provide organizations with an
easy-to-use solution that enables
automated content compliance and
help lessen risk management exposure
by ensuring that Web sites meet
ever-changing compliance standards.
The new Site Quality option
available in v2.0 extends this
functionality to also allow
organizations to monitor their sites
for quality issues, including broken
links, spelling, changed pages, and
site up/down monitoring to promote
the overall health of a Web site.
Unlike other solutions, Compliance
Sheriff allows users to easily
define and conduct custom tests for
an organization’s unique policies
without any costly programming or
consulting. A comprehensive
Dashboard Reporting feature offers
multiple reporting levels for
reviewing Web site status, allowing
management to review high-level
statuses while developers view pass
or fail details for remediation.
Key Features in HiSoftware
Compliance Sheriff v2.0
- New Site Quality Module -
The Site Quality Module allows
companies to monitor the overall
health of a Web site with the
following:
- Link Validation: Validates
links found on the page,
increases the crawl level of the
scan to validate links found on
linked pages. Results from this
validation can be produced using
the Links Analysis report.
- Monitor Watch list: Allows
organizations to define critical
sites or pages and verify them
against any checkpoints,
including if a site is up or
down, if pages (or resources
used by the page) have changed,
and if the time needed to load a
page on a browser does not meet
the organization’s standards.
Unlike scans, monitors can be
scheduled at shorter intervals,
and the results of any monitored
activity can be sent immediately
as an email alert.
- Spell Check: Verify the
spelling on pages visited
against multiple dictionaries.
Main dictionaries are supported
for various languages. Custom
dictionaries allow user- or
organization-specific words to
be defined, and other common
dictionaries such as Medical and
Legal are also available. For
example, English, user and Legal
dictionaries can all be used to
verify words in each page.
- Support for other file
formats:
- Microsoft OfficeŽ documents
- *.DOC, *.XLS, *.PPT (Requires
Microsoft Office 2003 or higher)
- AdobeŽ documents - *.PDF,
*.SWF These files are processed
in the same way as the pages
they are linked from and
processed against the same
checkpoints defined with the
scan.
- New report views including:
- Link Analysis – Used to
display the results from Link
Validation, including pages that
link in and out of the visited
page.
- History – Used for
monitored pages, this report
tracks the historical results of
pages visited.
