/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Securac Corp. ("Securac"), (OTC:SECU)
(BULLETIN BOARD: SECU) is pleased to announce the successful
completion of certification for its software solution product
Acertus(TM) Governance for the SAP NetWeaver(TM) integration and
application platform, achieving "Powered by SAP NetWeaver" status.
Acertus(TM) Governance is an Enterprise Risk Management (ERM)
application that provides a real-time dashboard of all operational,
regulatory and compliance risks that threaten business performance.
Through the product's unique graphical interface it drives a
culture of risk awareness, responsibility, accountability and
reporting throughout the business, and links to underlying risk
assessment source data from third-party applications, if required.
Intuitive and graphical 'drill-down' capabilities give executives,
audit teams, regulators and risk professionals the immediate
visibility needed to track and manage material threats to the
company's objectives. "We are delighted to have now added
certification of Acertus(TM) Governance to our recently certified
Acertus(TM) Risk Assessment application," states Terry Allen, Chief
Executive Officer, Securac. "Risk management and regulatory
compliance are demonstrated areas of strategic importance in which
our customers are investing. Through SAP certification of the
integration of the Acertus(TM) suite of governance, risk and
compliance ("GRC"), these solutions will provide customers with one
of the most complete and integrated GRC applications on the market
today." SAP NetWeaver integration and deployment opportunities
enabled Securac to integrate Acertus(TM) Governance 3.2.2-S
seamlessly to this core SAP platform. Through the SAP Integration
and Certification Center (ICC), Securac obtained integration and
certification services which included consulting and access to the
SAP test systems. Securac was certified upon providing verification
that the integration leveraged SAP's endorsed integration
technologies and followed the test protocol for SAP Enterprise
Portal 6.0 Business Package Integration and Java 2 Platform
Enterprise Edition (J2EE) deployment on SAP Web Application Server
6.0. Acertus Governance is powered by the SAP NetWeaver platform,
the open integration and application platform that provides the
best way to integrate all systems running SAP or non-SAP software.

platform and is pre-integrated with business applications, enabling
change and reducing the need for custom integration. The platform
is based on industry standards and supports all major technologies,
such as J2EE, Microsoft .NET, and IBM WebSphere. Through Acertus
Governance's integration with SAP NetWeaver, Securac will deliver

proactive management of threats to business objectives by early
warning of issues and clear accountability for risks, actions and
