Network Compliance Problems can be Mitigated using Network Management Tools

Many of the government regulations that affect organizations, including Sarbanes-Oxley, HIPAA, GLBA, and California Privacy Regulations, have direct and indirect requirements that specify how networks should be managed. With audit trails, persistent inline change comments, extensive alerting, and detailed reporting, TrueControl supports the ever-increasing regulatory compliance activities.

TrueControl addresses network compliance in a number of ways. First, it compares device configurations against a set of approved configuration policies and generates alerts in the event of non-compliance with policy. Also, when integrated with change management or ticketing solutions, TrueControl enforces corporate processes for change control. It also automatically associates users to changes occurring on network devices, giving organizations the ability to manage access to devices and keep accurate audit trails of changes.

With extensive reporting and deep searching capabilities, TrueControl is used by many organizations to enforce compliance with industry best practices such as the CobiT and ITIL frameworks and Sarbanes-Oxley regulations.

TrueControl ensures compliance for network devices by:

• Enabling real-time policy enforcement at the device level
• Attributing users with changes
• Automated tracking and reporting on change audit trails
• Providing connectors and APIs to integrate with helpdesk and ticketing systems
• Reporting on compliance including IT executive-level reports on network status, best practices, and device status
