Assessment of FraudGUARD and PredProtect shows low security risk
AGOURA HILLS, CA, July 17, 2012 — Interthinx has earned a National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) certification recommendation from SecureInfo for two of its automated products for the residential mortgage markets. SecureInfo subjected both FraudGUARD® and PredProtect® to extensive review to determine that the products meet the stringent security requirements of the NIST. As part of its standard procedure, SecureInfo conducted interviews, examinations, tests, and vulnerability scan analyses to evaluate 115 NIST SP 800-53, Revision 3 controls and control enhancements.
Mike Smith, chief technology officer and chief architect for Interthinx, stated, “We are particularly pleased that as an independent third party serving as an Agent of the Certification Authority, SecureInfo recommends that both FraudGUARD and PredProtect be issued an Authorization to Operate.”
“Interthinx takes great pride in its security measures and stands ready to work with government agencies to help mitigate risks through improved data integrity and compliance,” said Kevin Coop, president of Interthinx.
