HERNDON, Va. -- Cybertrust®, the global information security specialist, today announced that Cartus has obtained Cybertrust Security Management Program (SMP) Enterprise Certification for the fourth year in a row. Cartus, the premier provider of global mobility management and workforce development solutions serving the corporate, government and affinity markets, is one of a select group of companies in the world to achieve the industry’s most mature information security certification. The SMP approach allows Cartus to more effectively gain visibility into and control over its security infrastructure. Additionally, this certification assures customers and partners that Cartus is reducing risk and enhancing overall security in a consistent, programmatic fashion.

The SMP Enterprise Certification arms Cartus with a certification and risk reduction program that addresses the company’s entire information security program, including network and system analysis, as well as physical and policy inspection. Specifically, the certification shows that Cartus has documented and implemented information security policies and standards; put into practice effective security controls; mitigated high-severity vulnerabilities; implemented email filtering; and updated anti-virus programs.

Leveraging our SMP certification allows us to quickly take the pulse of sites around the world. In addition to helping Cartus manage its information security program, the SMP certification also serves as a watermark of acceptance among our clients and partners that we are highly committed to information security and have completed our due diligence.”
