Dynetics and Gradkell Partner to Provide DBsign to AssuredCompliance Users

March 21, 2012 - PRLog -- Dynetics Inc. and Gradkell Systems Inc., both headquartered here, announced today they have reached an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) agreement that provides Dynetics AssuredCompliance™ customers the option of digital signature capabilities with the Gradkell DBsign® Data Security Suite. This new option will benefit both defense and federal civilian customers using Dynetics AssuredCompliance software products for automated DIACAP and NIST 800-53 certification and accreditation (C&A) and risk management. AssuredCompliance with the DBsign option is available immediately from Dynetics.

Using AssuredCompliance, organizations automate and streamline management of the DIACAP and NIST C&A processes, leading to the dynamic generation of key reports and artifacts such as scorecards, plans of action and milestones (POA&Ms), system security plans (SSPs) and security assessment reports (SARs). DBsign technology enables AssuredCompliance users to digitally sign the data underlying the reports and artifacts auto-generated by AssuredCompliance, rather than just affixing digital signatures to documents once they have been generated.

“Dynetics is pleased to partner with Gradkell Systems Inc. for the benefit of AssuredCompliance customers,” said Tom Baumbach, president of Dynetics. “Not only does Gradkell’s DBsign provide a key capability, but it does so through an inventive way that complements AssuredCompliance’s data-centric approach to C&A and risk management.”

“Gradkell pioneered the use of digital signatures for the Department of Defense in 1991,” said Grady Gaston, president of Gradkell Systems. “Just as we have led the way with CAC-enabled non-repudiation for paperless information systems such as the Defense Travel System, we are excited about Dynetics choosing DBsign in its mission to lead the way in C&A and risk management software with AssuredCompliance.”

Dynetics AssuredCompliance software licenses, maintenance, training and consulting offerings, including DBsign for AssuredCompliance, are available for purchase directly from Dynetics and through various government contracts.
