FAIRFAX, Va. (PRWEB)
September 08, 2020

ControlCase, a leading provider of IT Security Certifications and Continuous Compliance Services, recently appointed Mike Jenner as its new CEO. He takes over from Founder Kishor Vaswani who has led the company since 2004 and will continue on as Chief Strategy Officer and Board Member to support the company’s growth plans.

Jenner, former CEO of NexusTek and Executive Vice President with Trizetto, is a recognized industry leader in business services, with more than 25 years’ experience in outsourcing, consulting, managed services, security, software and IT. Mike has held senior executive roles in start-up, private equity and public companies and is set to take ControlCase to the next level.

“Given today’s security landscape, achieving compliance with more than one regulation provides both additional security and competitive advantage to a company,” said Jenner. “Managing multiple audits individually poses a number of challenges for a business; including repetition of efforts, managing multiple audit firms, increased costs, complexity and time. I am excited to work with ControlCase in maximizing the value that OneAudit™ can provide to an organization’s security posture.”

The ControlCase OneAudit™ solution enables organizations to perform a single audit and comply with multiple regulations. The service is complimented by ControlCase’s Continuous Compliance solution which collects and analyzes data from security controls (log management systems, security scanners, asset inventory and other security systems) and evaluates this data on an ongoing basis to confirm compliance posture throughout the year.

“We use ControlCase OneAudit™ to manage compliance with PCI DSS, HITRUST and SOC 2,” said Kevin Bellrose, Director – InfoSec & Compliance at Verato.

“The solution has significantly reduced our audit preparation and execution time as well as reduced costs and duplication of effort. We especially like having a dedicated ControlCase Customer Success Manager helping us manage timelines and resources as we navigate multiple audits at once.”

“We have been successful in our mission for OneAudit™ – assess once and comply to many,” said Kishor Vaswani, Chief Strategy Officer at ControlCase. “I am truly excited that ControlCase has become a global leader in IT certifications; and l am confident that Mike will take ControlCase to the next level in its mission to provide peace of mind and reduction of audit fatigue for multiple IT certifications.”

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB)
September 08, 2020

CloudVO, the San Francisco-based online provider of Workplace-as-a-Service, unveiled today a program to support remote work. The program, named CloudTouchdown, is designed to provide people who work from home the ability to check into a part-time office at a flexible location close to home with a subscription plan.

“Working from home is great, but sometimes the kitchen table does not do it anymore, and you may starve to work in a quiet and safe professional office,” said Laurent Dhollande, CloudVO CEO. “CloudTouchdown passes give you Work-Near-Home when you need relief from Work-From-Home.”

With COVID-19, for many, going back to the corporate campus is not even an option. Companies like Google, Facebook, and many others have told their employees not to come back to the office until way into 2021. Others like Twitter have told them they could work remotely permanently.

A recent article in Psychology Today highlights that “those unable to cope with the upheaval that the virus has caused in their lives may be feeling somewhat stressed, lonely, exhausted, and, perhaps, overwhelmed — symptoms of what psychiatrists and psychologists sometimes refer to as “home office syndrome.”

A study released by The Stanford Institute for Economic Research in June quantified how challenging work-from-home is. Only 49% of responders said they can work privately in a room other than their bedroom. Only 36.3% of employees said they can work at home 100% of the time.

Karina Patel, CloudVO’s Director of Marketing said, “People have grown accustomed to working from home, which may work well most of the time, but not all of the time. A CloudTouchdown Pass gives them the opportunity to check into a peaceful private office close to home.”

CloudTouchdown Pass holders can select the location of their choice among the 900 venues affiliated with CloudVO. Venues are carefully vetted for their professionalism, amenities, customer reviews, and Health & Safety protocols.

A local pass costs less than $200/month for 20 credits. One credit can be redeemed for one hour of day office use in most locations. More credits are needed for meeting rooms, but small, quiet, and safe private offices do the trick to provide welcome relief from work-from-home on a part-time, on-demand basis. Passes can also be purchased with 50 monthly credits at a higher price.

When asked who will pay for the CloudTouchdown Pass, Dhollande said, “We believe that most employers will respond favorably to a request from their employees to get a CloudTouchdown Pass. It’s 5 to 6 times less expensive than a dedicated office. They just need to ask.”

CloudVO believes that this concept of the CloudTouchdown Pass, specifically designed to supplement work-from-home, is the first of its kind anywhere in the nation and beyond. It works well for the sponsoring companies because they can budget a fixed amount each month per employee. It works well for employees to keep their sanity. The new passes launch in September 2020.

AUSTIN, Texas (PRWEB)
September 07, 2020

As schools and business reopen this fall the demand for Alcohol-based Hand Rubs (ABHR) and disinfectants continue to soar, further taxing an already over-burdened ethanol market. Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, Lab Alley has been providing sanitizing and disinfectant chemicals to hospitals, healthcare, personal care/health & beauty/cosmetics, healthcare workers, first responders, medical providers, universities, governments, businesses, and consumers.

Schools and businesses across America are using Lab Alley products to routinely clean and disinfect to maintain a safe environment. 60% and higher Ethanol is one of the most recommended ingredients by the CDC for preventing the spread of COVID-19 and other viral respiratory illnesses in households, schools, and other community settings.

After the FDA issued its warning against hand sanitizers containing Methanol, the demand for Denatured Ethanol (Reagent grade material with small percentages of IPA and Methanol) dropped off considerably and demand for the non-denatured food grade Ethanol has increased. Currently, there is a major shortage of non-denatured ethanol in the U.S. There is not enough Ethanol, in particular, Pure Non-Denatured Food Grade Ethanol, to supply the current demands for American schools and businesses.

“The shortage has been a challenge”, admits Fred Elabed, CEO of Lab Alley, LLC, “but we are working hard to get these products into the hands of our fellow Americans. We have been successful in meeting the needs of our customers from the average consumer to top government agencies and everyone in between”.

Lab Alley also supplies another, less popular Ethanol, SDA (Specially Denatured Ethanol). Since it requires a permit to purchase in quantities of more than 5 gallons, it is more of a niche market than the non-denatured Ethanol. Hand Sanitizer and Personal Care manufacturers and suppliers that have the SDA permit and purchase in bulk to making their hand sanitizer and or personal care products are using SDA Ethanol as an ingredient. SDA Ethanol is mostly purchased in bigger bulk quantities such as 270-gallon totes and 6500-gallon tanker trucks making it a cost-prohibitive and storage concerns for the normal American businesses, governments, and schools. Lab Alley has been providing SDA Ethanol to these companies during this critical time and will continue to do so.

Lab Alley continues to provide ALL the categories of Ethanol – Non-Denatured/Pure, Denatured/Reagent, and SDA from smaller sizes such as 1-liter bottles to much bigger sizes like 270-gallon totes. Everything is in stock and being shipped to American schools, businesses, and government entities each day! By providing crucial raw materials and chemicals that produce antiviral products and virus disinfectants, Lab Alley is helping the U.S. to combat the spread of the coronavirus pandemic.

In addition to Ethanol, many of the other chemicals sold by Lab Alley can also help to contain the spread of COVID-19, such as sodium hypochlorite, hydrogen peroxide, hydrochloric acid, thymol, sodium chloride, sodium hypochlorite, citric acid, benzalkonium chloride, glycerin, and isopropyl alcohol. These high-quality chemicals that go into virus disinfectants can be ordered in 500-mL, 1-liter and 1-gallon bottles, 5-gallon pails, 55-gallon drums and 270-gallon totes online at LabAlley.com. The ability to offer a wide variety of sizes has helped Lab Alley meet the increasing demand for alcohol-based hand rub (ABHR) ingredients during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Lab Alley is an “essential business” during COVID-19 providing sanitizing and disinfectant chemicals to hospitals, healthcare, personal care/health & beauty/cosmetics, healthcare workers, first responders, medical providers, universities, governments, businesses, and consumers.
