Tokyo, Portland -- March 3, 2006- NexantiS Corporation ("Nexantis") an international editor of strategic-security solutions headquartered in Japan and netVigilance Inc. an authorized distributor of SecureScout™ announced today the release of a test profile; SOX Safe Scan for the popular SecureScout™ line of Network Vulnerability Assessment tools; to address the need for the protection of information assets for Sarbanes-Oxley compliance.

Jesper Jurcenoks ; CEO at netVigilance was quoted saying: "With Sarbanes-Oxley, corporate officers are under a great deal of scrutiny and accountability. To sign-off on filings and financial reports; executives must be assured that their data has not been tampered with or lost."

SOX SafeScan adds to the existing SecureScout scanning policies for GLBA and HIPAA. These pre-configured policies make it very easy to perform frequent and fast Vulnerability Assessment scans to document adherence to regulatory statutes for the protection of sensitive databases.

There is a rising demand for global companies to adopt Sarbanes-Oxley as a benchmark for corporate accountability. Tedi Heriyanto of Quantiq International Ltd. (web: www.quantiqint.com); a major distributor of network security products located in Singapore put it this way: "SOX SafeScan Policy will help organizations to have a better picture of it's overall IT security posture. It also shows the commitment of C-level executives to do the right things for responsible corporate governance."

The Japanese government is currently discussing establishing legislation similar to the US's Sarbanes-Oxley to define accountability for the accuracy of financial reports issued by public companies, internal controls and reliability of audit conducted by an auditing firm.
