Publicly traded companies, public accounting firms, and firms providing auditing services need to have extensive internal control systems.

SOX

Publicly traded companies, public accounting firms, and firms providing auditing services need to have extensive internal control systems. Since much of a company’s financial data resides on servers, responsibility for these internal control requirements falls on IT professionals. Network administrators must review, develop, and implement access controls in order to bring a Windows network into compliance. Continual checks throughout the year are required to ensure that these established controls are in place and are effective, in addition to an annual review of all internal controls with extensive reporting to auditors.

PCI

In response to several high-profile credit card data breaches, retailers and credit card processors are responsible and accountable for the handling, disclosure, and use of consumer’s sensitive information. These companies must protect cardholder data, implement strong access control measures, maintain an information security policy, and regularly test and monitor networks.

HIPPA

The challenge: U.S. health organizations must protect the confidentiality and security of patient records.

FISMA

Each federal agency must develop, document, and implement an agency-wide program to provide security for its information and information systems - including those provided or managed by another agency or contractor. As a result, network administrators must review, develop, and implement access controls in order to bring a Windows network into compliance. Continual checks throughout the year are required to ensure that these established controls are in place and are effective throughout the agency and its partners, in addition to an annual review of all internal controls with extensive reporting to auditors.

Blackbird auditor monitors Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GPO) changes in real time – tracking the “WHO, WHAT, WHERE, WHEN” for any modifications. Instant alerts notify administrators of critical AD changes that could impact the security or availability of your Windows environment. And by capturing all change activity in a centralized auditing database, Blackbird auditor brings a new level of ease to compliance reporting.

Critical to any compliance or security initiative, Blackbird privilege explorer shows exactly who has access to which AD and Windows resources. Whether administrators need to provide data owners reports on who can access their data or figure out who had access to a resource when an issue occurred, privilege explorer automates data collection and report generation to significantly reduce administrator workload.

Privilege manager enables data owners to control access and changes to their resources without infrastructure changes or business disruption. It brings together data owners, end users, reviewers and approvers – streamlining workflows for authorizing, activating and revoking entitlements, while ensuring all changes comply to security and regulatory requirements.
