Measure, Share, Compare.

Measuring and assessing performance is not "a nice to have". It is an essential component of every business process and critical to establishing a foundation for constant improvement.

The ability to measure progress, compare results to past performance, goals, or baselines and share results for benchmarking among peers is integral to the way we manage.

There’s a natural order for meaningful performance measurement: decide what’s important to measure, establish and share methodologies so it’s consistent, review and compare results, set new targets and benchmarks.

Despite major investments in IT security, most organizations lack clear, auditable visibility into whether they are meeting risk and compliance objectives.

Security, risk and compliance executives know this. They need a solution that lets them coordinate their measurement efforts, share and reuse methodologies and results, and compare outcomes across the enterprise and with industry peers.

We designed the first purpose-built solution that fits the distinctive form and function of security performance and compliance analysis. You don’t need programmers, expensive data warehouse products, cumbersome spreadsheets, and multiple dashboards. Our solution is quicker to learn and deploy, easier to use and maintain, and more cost effective than traditional business intelligence design tools.

Our patent-pending software collects and aggregates data from scores of different security applications into a unified picture, definitively answering the question: "how well are we meeting our information security goals?". We have created a coherent framework for scorecard-based design, analysis, and communication of security performance. Our solution adapts to any technology environment and organization; you can use our rules-based scorecard templates out-of-the-box, and easily incorporate in-house policies at any time.

ClearPoint delivers security performance metrics you can meaningfully act on, and compliance evidence you can reliably audit. The results are clear communication, confident decision making, and realistic performance assessments based on hard facts and data.

We know how to measure security performance.  We understand how to confirm regulatory compliance. We have built an organization that can deliver a complete performance metric solution from software through implementation and support.

We understand that useful metrics rely on hard facts and data.  Data from scanners, anti-virus, intrusion detection, LDAP directories, configuration managers, firewalls, service tickets … if an application produces it, ClearPoint can create useful performance metrics from it.

We understand that the success of a security initiative is vitally dependent on moving away from manual surveys and qualitative assessments, and moving on to transforming hard facts and data into information and metrics that are:
•   Trustworthy: repeatable, reliably delivered, and consistently calculated
•   Actionable: decision makers get the information they need to achieve goals
•   Auditable: transparent trail to follow results back to the source
•   Cost effective

These are not easy requirements to meet, but we did it.  We invented “Metric and Scorecard XML” as a standard medium for documenting, exchanging, deploying, and managing everything about metrics and scorecards. And we created the “ClearPoint" as a Unified Security Performance and Compliance Management  Platform that takes care of all of this for you automatically.

ClearPoint Metrics is changing the way organizations drive improvement in IT and information security initiatives through the use of targeted metrics and scorecards.

We take the cost and friction out of getting the hard facts and data you need to make actionable security performance assessments and reliable compliance reviews.  Decision makers at every level of your organization get exactly the information they need to take meaningful action to achieve their goals.

We have done the hard work of developing plug-and-play metrics and scorecards. With ClearPoint your security analysts, network administrators, compliance staff, and line of business managers can start measuring what matters most today.  It’s simple to tailor scorecards to your business needs and goals, and you can add capabilities incrementally as you need them. It has never been easier to deliver the hard facts and data you need to objectively assess the quality of your organization's IT and security initiatives, and assure compliance with regulatory requirements.

We want to help create a community for sharing metrics and scorecards with others, and create a forum for benchmarking results. The application possibilities are endless!
•    Third party assurance
•    Information supply chain management
•    Industry Standards consortiums and associations
•    Best Practices groups

We’ve built an integrated solution that lets you measure what matters most, clearly communicate results throughout your organization, and automate the entire life cycle of metric design, calculation, and communication. Our Metrics Application Packages show you how a user community or workgroup can package expertise, create measurement standards, and share results.

Our partner ecosystem is growing rapidly. American Express, Bell Canada, GE, Cisco, United Health and other global enterprises use ClearPoint to gain a unified, metric-based view of IT security performance across major risk types (security, audit, privacy, business continuity), regulatory and best practice frameworks (PCI, NERC, HITRUST, ISO,FISMA), and assets (IT, data, processes, people).

We’re dedicated to helping our partners integrate metrics into their products and building profitable partner relationships. Developers can get in on ClearPoint too. It's easy to package your own metrics application and publish it within your enterprise or to the broader community. With our Metric Design Studio, companion APIs, and SDKs you have everything you need to build your own metric application creations. And if you have a system you want to embed into or integrate with ClearPoint we can help you with that too.

We look forward to working with the growing community of metric practitioners to realize this vision!
