Proving success for both internal and external compliance mandates (including PCI, SOX, HIPAA, NERC, FERC and others) can take up considerable time and valuable IT staff energies. Today’s expansive networks are growing even more complex due to initiatives like virtualization and cloud computing, which also heighten the importance of security requirements and network compliance. The onus of meeting the demands of mandates, security requirements and network compliance is magnified when these laborious tasks are taken on by outdated manual methods.
Trinzic Network Compliance makes certain that your network is in compliance at all times by automating the process of maintaining network standardization, meeting security requirements and proving success for external mandates or internal best practices. The automation maintains consistent network compliance for you 24x7x365, and also provides change detection and security requirements tracking, and delivers single click compliance reports.
Trinzic Network Compliance embeds hundreds of rules, policies, and industry best practice templates (including PCI, NSA, SANS and DISA) so organizations can simply select specific aspects and implement them faster instead of guessing what might be right for their requirements.
More importantly, the templates allow customization so that specific rules, individual to your organization, can be defined easily. Furthermore, you can create device groups so that specific compliance mandates or security standards can be checked against a designated set of network devices while other devices remain exempt.
When an auditor requires proof of every network change made during a particular day—who made the change and what was modified—a simple query in Trinzic Network Compliance eliminates the guesswork and shows every change in a matter of seconds.
The comprehensive tracking, auditing and reporting capabilities of Trinzic Network Compliance lessen the time and manual effort needed to prove compliance success. The system automatically documents key criteria on an on-going basis, including tracking every change to any device, maintaining histories of configurations with side-by-side comparisons.
You can now archive all current and modified configurations, and continuously compare the settings against your defined customized standards. When a variation or discrepancy occurs, Trinzic Network Compliance generates an issue to signal the violation so that you can fix the risk quickly rather than wait months until the next audit uncovers the problem.
Assuming that a simple report or merely collecting log files will meet the needs of a compliance audit is a common mistake. Instead of focusing on a one-time snapshot for compliance, Trinzic Network Compliance is a system for continuously monitoring and ensuring standardization. One-click reports highlight the current status of compliance for either external mandates or internal best practices anytime.
For most security and audit requirements, IT organizations much show sufficient control of access to devices, as in answering the query, “How do you know the planned changes occurred, or that unplanned modifications didn’t happen?” Trinzic Network Compliance helps prove exactly what happened by tracking the exact changes made to the network devices. The automated tracking and audit feature provides a “checks and balances” view, and is a complementary solution to the traditional change management process and CMDBs.
