Audit and Compliance

User-Centric Access Tracking for Compliance Reporting

Today organizations face multiple regulatory and internal compliance mandates such as GLBA, SB-1386, HIPAA, Sarbanes Oxley, FFIEC and more. Most regulations mandate access control, unique user logins, and audit trails to track access to confidential corporate and customer information. The cost of non-compliance is stiff with heavy fines and criminal penalties.

To facilitate regulatory compliance with an audit trail of access events, organizations need to know which applications were accessed and which accounts were used, along with a timestamp and information pertaining to the IP address used to access the information. Traditionally, this information has been aggregated in application-centric logs, which cannot be consolidated across multiple end-points and applications – and the consolidation of these logs is expensive and time consuming.

With Encentuate Audit & Compliance functionality, organizations are able to obtain consolidated, user-centric, secure and tamper-evident audit capabilities across all end-points – personal or shared workstations, Citrix, Windows Terminal Services, or browsers. When combined with the strong authentication capabilities provided by Encentuate, the user-centric audit logs ensure secure access to confidential corporate information and accountability at all times. The logs provide the meta-information that can guide compliance and IT administrators to a more detailed analysis – by user, application, or end-point. In addition, this information is organized in a relational database facilitating real-time monitoring and separate reporting with third-party reporting tools.

Additionally, organizations can leverage the end-point automation framework offered by Encentuate to audit custom access events for any application – without modifying the application or leveraging the native audit functionalities.
