Business Wire, August 30, 2004

NEW YORK -- Application Provides End-users and System Administrators with Secure, Auditable, and Streamlined Access to Global Networks

Secured Services Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: SSVC), a leader in Identity and Access Management security software and services, announced today that Integic Corporation has joined the company's partner program as an OEM partner. As a leading provider of software applications and business process management solutions for the Government, Healthcare and Life Sciences field, Integic required an identity and access management system which not only met the highest industry standards for reliability, scalability and security, but also combined ease-of-use for end-users spread across numerous, disparate locations with comprehensive administrative capabilities that ensured that numerous parameters could be easily customized to the various requirements and regulations governing specific projects. Secured Services' Identiprise Identity and Access Management software fully addressed these concerns by providing Integic with a global solution for providing secure, auditable and streamlined access to enterprise systems that could be readily integrated within Integic's solutions.

"Confronted with the challenges of a highly dynamic workplace in which thousands of users needed to be integrated and maintained in a global network where security is our highest concern, we recognized that effective identity and access management couldn't be an afterthought, but rather, needed to be a cornerstone of our development," said Lawrence Albert, senior vice president of Integic's Healthcare practice. "With comprehensive features designed to meet and exceed various government regulations, such as HIPAA, and proven enterprise-class performance, Secured Services' Identiprise software clearly met these requirements. What made them such an important partner for Integic was the ease in which both their technology and staff conformed to our business requirements, which allowed us to address our client's requirements with greater speed and confidence than otherwise possible."

Integic has begun incorporating Secured Services' Identiprise Identity and Access Management software within its Computerized Patient Records technology, which is being utilized by such clients as the United States Department of Defense to provide clinicians with on-demand access to a patient's complete healthcare history at the point of care. Through these systems being developed by Integic, thousands of healthcare providers across hundreds of facilities can be networked together to provide more timely and effective healthcare to millions of beneficiaries. Within this context, Identiprise software is being used to remotely and automatically administer usage privileges and access parameters so that clinicians and administrators will both benefit from a simplified means for accessing this critical information that can be readily tracked and is redundantly secure.

Secured Services' Identiprise(TM) Suite was designed from its inception to provide comprehensive Secured User Management across an enterprise organization. Identiprise Suite enables users to have secure access to corporate applications with one unique organizational identifier while providing a detailed audit of all their activities. Functionality includes:

--Consolidated user account creation or deletion to assigned applications

--Simplified and distributed administration that reduces the need for help desk support

--Secured access and user management for partner organizations

--Centralized management of identification tokens

--Detailed usage logs for risk management and compliance reporting

--Rapid installation and implementation without impact to applications

--Significantly reduced user management costs

King Moore, president and CEO of Secured Services, said the company is honored that Integic has chosen Identiprise to address the access management requirements of this mission-critical project. "End-user security management is a strategic imperative for both the government and business with immediate impact on security and the bottom line," he said. "Managing large numbers of users, each with diverse security and access requirements, is an enormous problem for organizations. Identiprise automates the process of granting access for both users and transactions with consistent and enforceable security policies applied across the hundreds of applications found in large enterprises, Identiprise provides a dramatic return on investment."
