Challenge
- Ensure compliance with Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC) standards that govern GLBA requirements.
- Optimize the process of preparing for compliance audits.

Netwrix Solution
Christopher chose Netwrix Auditor because it was easy to deploy and use. He appreciated the understandable format of the reports and the ability to automate their delivery.
- Surveillance of privileged accounts. Christopher monitors activities in bank's IT environment for both security and compliance reasons. Watching privileged users enables him to detect privilege escalation in time and prevent damage. He also receives alerts if someone changes memberships of security groups. This empowers him to make sure that no one creates malicious accounts there or gains excessive privileges.
- Enhanced control over file servers. Netwrix Auditor summarizes all changes made across file servers and informs Christopher about failed and successful data access events. This enables him to meet requirements of auditors, e.g. be more proactive in restricting file permissions and revoke excessive access rights if necessary.
- Improved reporting for audits. The software provides Christopher with a complete audit trail for compliance checks, which enables him to prove to auditors that all changes and activities across the network are carefully monitored. Netwrix Auditor generates reports automatically, which saves Christopher the entire workday every week.
