The History of Brabeion Software

The evolution of Brabeion Software began in the 90’s when companies were just beginning to wake up to the requirements of computer security. Organizations realized they needed to take stock of their computer security objectives, and along came the formalization of Information Security Programs and Security Policy. This wasn’t a new concept - just one that had lingered for years in the shadows and dusty shelves of the mainframe programmer. When those three-ringed binders were dusted off, many companies cringed at the recognition that policy documents were either out of date or non-existent. Times had changed and companies needed to mobilize to address the emerging threat landscape.

In 2000, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP developed a software platform called the Enterprise Security Architecture System (ESAS) as an enterprise-class system that enabled large companies to create robust information security programs. It was the first product of its kind focusing not on bits and bytes but on unifying security efforts through policy and controls. ESAS had matured into a tool that turned those dusty three-ring binders into living and actionable policies. Security policies could now be managed easily and the "who, what, where, why and how" of security practices could be effectively communicated throughout large companies.

Companies quickly discovered its benefits. ESAS leveraged man-years of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP experience into a management tool focused on helping companies build a strong security foundation. ESAS became the backbone for some of the most expansive information protection programs in the world.

In 2005, Brabeion acquired ESAS and built on its rich heritage to expand features and functionality focused on the emerging challenges associated with regulatory compliance. Brabeion continues its evolution as the leading compliance and risk management system. Through its strategic alliance with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, Brabeion utilizes and embraces PwC’s security expertise to provide a security policy, standards and IT controls baseline as the foundation to any IT GRC Program.
