Compliance Automation
AccelOps offers full log aggregation, real-time event correlation and online data retention with rules and reports mapped to leading management and compliance standards. By incorporating an automated CMDB to validate configuration integrity, statistical profiling to discover suspicious activities and true identity binding for complete access records, AccelOps automates audit and control processes.
Reducing Business Risk
Standards and compliance is all about implementing procedures and technologies that reduce business risk, as well as being able to efficiently validate that controls are working according to stated policy expectations and mandated requisites. Beyond setting policy and procedures, many tools in an IT's management portfolio must support compliance efforts.
The question then becomes finding the right technologies that best automate control verification and documentation, as well as those that streamline internal and external audit challenge/response processes. Compliance considerations for IT management tools should include the means to:
- Validate a broad set of policies across technologies
- Easily establish or fortify controls and compensating controls
- Deliver on-demand results to auditor inquiries
- Readily obtain applicable data and documentation
- Normalize compliance-relevant data across disparate systems
- Produce reports that leverage existing frameworks
- Diminish compliance liabilities and audit duration
- Meet auditing and data management standards
- Identify control gaps and prioritize incident response
- Adapt to existing security, governance and auditing processes
- Respond to complex and rapidly changing environments
AccelOps satisfies all the above compliance considerations with built-in dashboards, analytics and reports mapped to leading standards and compliance best practices.
Automating Governance and Compliance Requisites
As an IT service management solution, AccelOps is among technologies best suited to drive down business risks and auditing costs. The solution not only exceeds compliance considerations and provides full security and log management functionality, but can often provide end-to-end delivery of documentation, validation and on-demand verification of controls.
AccelOps provides management and IT staff with timely reporting, extensive monitoring, and robust controls that can be easily applied consistently across an entire infrastructure and dovetails existing governance, security and auditing processes.
The AccelOps solution automates many tasks connected with compliance which in turn extends staff capacity and reduces expenditures that accompany manual processes concerning policy monitoring, incident response, adherence documentation, and ad hoc audit requests. AccelOps rules can be quickly and easily applied or tailored to monitor existing controls or establish compensating controls.
Unlike conventional event/log management or security event management vendors, AccelOps does not charge for each compliance reporting package (all of which have overlapping controls with different titles) – it's all included!
AccelOps maps to the foundations of governance, risk and compliance management – ISO, COBIT and PCI – that leading analyst and audit firms recommend. The combination of controls that these de facto standards yield will enable organizations to address the majority of blended security and governance mandates that most enterprises require or deem as a best practice.
