March 3, 2016 - Lumen21, an award-winning global technology firm specializing in compliance and technology, announced today the availability of three new compliance offerings for Microsoft Office 365 Enterprise: Managed Compliance Support Service, Secure File Hub™, and PhishPro™ plugins.

Managed Compliant Office 365 Enterprise - Lumen21 has introduced a service that enables them to work with customers looking to implement their Microsoft Office 365 environment, taking into account their compliance requirements, by utilizing Lumen21 compliance templates for Healthcare, Financial Services, and Retail. Mapping against these templates then allows Lumen21 to properly configure the needed components in the given client’s Office 365 environment and track, monitor, and manage that environment on an on-going basis for compliance purposes. For those clients that so choose or have the means themselves to provide the needed monitoring and management portion of the Office 365 support, Lumen21 has a shared responsibility model to collaborate with the client in its required compliance reporting and monitoring efforts.

Secure File Hub™ - Lumen21’s plugin for Office 365 enables organizations to securely share files and folders which contain sensitive information, safely and simply, to and from computers and mobile devices, even over public connections. Customers will have control over who can access files, as well as track and monitor what actions are being taken on the shared files at all times. Secure File Hub™ is built with advanced security features, meeting HIPAA/HITECH, FISMA, PCI, FINRA, and other industry regulations. Secure File Hub™ seamlessly works with OneDrive for Business or Azure Blob Storage and uses existing Office 365 subscriptions. Secure File Hub™ service is governed by an executed compliance and confidentiality agreements, including a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) for healthcare customers.

PhishPro™ - Lumen21’s plugin for Microsoft Outlook 2016 is a multi-faceted solution that can raise awareness about phishing emails, provide an effective solution for eliminating an organization’s inefficiency for gathering, organizing, and analyzing end user reports of suspicious emails, and significantly prevent possible scenarios that could result in a cyberattack. PhishPro™ is built with the highest level of security and is comprised of three modules – Tracker, Campaign, and Dashboard. The Tracker module allows end users to quickly report possible phishing emails with the click of the PhishPro Tracker icon installed on the Outlook ribbon, while the Campaign module uses simulated phishing campaigns to test their ability to recognize and report phishing threats.

“Last year we launched a cloud computing offering compatible with infrastructure as a service that has been very well received. We are now looking to support customers who are also looking to use the cloud through Office 365. Regulatory and compliance needs add to the things a given customer needs to worry about when implementing cloud technology, beyond compliance capabilities and security offered by the cloud. The supplier offers as part of its offer,” said Eduardo Don Jr., president of Lumen21. “Lumen21 is ideally suited to use its compliance and security expertise to help customers looking to implement Office 365 while meeting their specific regulatory requirements and improving their security and compliance. Our goal is to continue to lead the way by providing a comprehensive set of tools and services that enable an organization to improve its IT security and compliance posture, without compromising the use of cloud technology. “Lumen21, cloud and compliance are becoming synonymous in the industry.”
