FARMINGTON HILLS – TruArx, an IT governance, risk and compliance solution and service company, on Tuesday announced it has acquired Austin, Texas-based TruComply, a provider of payment card industry compliance management and e-learning solutions. The two companies have consolidated their software-as-a-service compliance products under the name TruComply. Terms were not announced.

TruArx helps companies optimize business performance with

IT GRC solutions like its flagship offering TruView.

Now known as TruComply, the solution has enhanced capabilities to help companies better manage risk and adhere to industry standards and government regulations according to TruArx President Robert Capinjola.

TruComply helps companies focus limited compliance budgets on priority areas of the business. Customers don�??t have to purchase expensive software or hardware, maintain data, or spend months implementing technology to use TruComply, which significantly lowers overall investments. The web-based solution can quickly identify risks that affect critical assets that support essential business processes.

�??Considering recent financial events, businesses can

expect the complexity and cost of compliance to grow because of current risk

management deficiencies,�?� says Robert Capinjola. �??TruComply is affordable and makes it easy to develop a compliance program because of its software-as-a-service delivery model.�?� Capinjola believes TruComply addresses a wide range of requirements while offering a broader on-demand solution that strengthens compliance and lowers costs. �??By adding the TruComply suite of offerings, clients can continuously review security and compliance and easily decide where to best apply limited budgets to mitigate risk. TruComply President and CEO Chris Noell joins TruArx as executive vice president of product management.

�??TruComply?�s PCI offerings and expertise are a perfect complement to TruArx?�s IT GRC knowledge,�?� says Noell. �??Joining forces with TruArx enhances our capability to provide customers with a broader array of capabilities

including task and workflow management, compliance e-learning content, and policy management so IT teams can handle security compliance and risk with one integrated system.�?�

Noell adds customers will benefit with greater levels of support, lower

maintenance costs and more frequent application and information upgrades.

and experience a higher return on security program investments.

TruArx is headquartered in Farmington Hills with offices in Austin, Texas,

Columbus, Ohio, Nashville, Tenn., and Washington, DC.
