Ostendio is delivering a valuable product to enterprise clients. As boards increasingly demand tighter ERM controls and accurate reporting of IT security compliance, a product like MyVCM which provides C-Suite executives with an easily trackable, single pane-of-glass solution is compelling. I’m pleased to be involved in helping to solve a problem that’s only going to get worse in the coming years.” - Scott Sanders.
