London (Sept. 29, 2021)<\/em> \u2014 MPS Monitor, the company that develops and distributes the leading platform for the remote monitoring and management of printers and multifunctional devices, announces that Keypoint Intelligence, the document imaging industry\u2019s most trusted resource for unbiased information and analysis, has performed a detailed assessment of MPS Monitor\u2019s security methodology as well as its platform\u2019s security policies and procedures. Findings of this analysis have been published in a whitepaper titled Managed Print Services Platform Security.

In line with MPS Monitor\u2019s belief that seeking independent endorsement of its security claims is both best practice and reassuring for end-users, it commissioned Keypoint Intelligence – the most accredited print technology testing laboratory in the world – to examine its security procedures and to document them. Of particular note, Keypoint Intelligence\u2019s analysis concluded that MPS Monitor proved to be able to maintain customer devices in a secure posture through proactive and automated management of key device settings, and that it provides a deeply tested DCA technology that fulfills its customers\u2019 most stringent security requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, it was satisfied that MPS Monitor\u2019s platform runs on a proven and secure cloud infrastructure, that benefits from continuous security testing and auditing from specialized security teams. It also recognized that MPS Monitor has in place a full and comprehensive set of policies and procedures that meets the requirement for industry-standard security certifications. It also stated that MPS Monitor went \u2018the extra mile\u2019 to ensure its platform is certified as compliant to stringent international security standards like ISO\/IEC 27001 and SOC 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Commenting on the findings of the whitepaper, Nicola De Blasi, CEO of MPS Monitor, noted: \u201cFrom small businesses through to larger enterprises and across all public sector organizations, security is priority number one.

At MPS Monitor, we\u2019re acutely aware of this risk, which is why we have gone above and beyond meeting the required industry standards for security, to create an MPS platform that excels in its security capabilities, thereby protecting dealers and their customers from introducing additional risks into their environments. That\u2019s why we are thrilled that our efforts have been recognized by Keypoint Intelligence, given the completeness of its vigorous testing procedures which have made it a highly respected authority on this subject.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jamie Bsales, director of solutions, security and smart workplace analysis at Keypoint Intelligence, added: \u201cAnalysing security claims made by vendors about their services or solutions is important for giving customers and end-users peace of mind on a matter that is vital for their business.
