MONTREAL, Feb. 13 /CNW Telbec/ - Help On Line Consulting Group announced today that an extensive security review by KPMG has confirmed the viability of the security controls of its Web site. Over the past few months, KPMG effected an external intrusion test, engaged in a security audit of the Canadian Web site Help On Line and recommended upgrades in order to ensure high quality standards. Help On Line is very proud to announce that upon completion, the KPMG review confirmed that the Web site was effectively protected. This review is essential for Help On Line, as it must ensure total confidentiality to the professionals that use the service as it complies with protection of client / professional privileges.

"Not only is Help On Line the first Web portal in Canada to offer health professionals the possibility to consult on-line, but we are also proud to be able to confirm the service safe and secure," said Fran?ois Lefort, M.Ps., psychologist and founder of Help On Line.

Philippe Mancini, PMP, CISA, Director, Consulting services at the Montreal offices of KPMG, confirmed the quality of the security controls of the Help On Line Web portal. "As of the end date of our work on the site, we concluded definitively that the application and infrastructure security of Help On Line conforms to the control objectives regarding content confidentiality and integrity."

KPMG consultants regularly do security control work for financial institutions, on-line lotteries, distribution chains and health organizations. "The KPMG IT security experts were very stringent with their intrusion tests on the Help On Line site. They ensured the quality of the controls that protect the security and the confidentiality of the portal through the use of tools and methods that are at the cutting edge of technology," said Fran?ois Lefort.
