Audit and Compliance
Easing the Enterprise Audit and Compliance Burden - Overview
Clearly what enterprises require is a solution that automates previously manual processes, ensures accurate reporting, and keeps audit and compliance policies in check.
Maintaining tight control over the security audit and compliance process is a critical imperative for today’s enterprises. To comply, enterprises must show that they have implemented procedures to prevent unauthorized users from accessing corporate and personal data. Even if enterprises have the means to efficiently conduct audits, they often lack the tools necessary to prevent policy and compliance violations from reoccurring. As a result, security vulnerabilities remain a constant threat, exposing companies to potential sanctions and erode the confidence of investors and customers.
As a result, the process of meeting compliance regulations such as HIPAA, SOX, and PCI, as well as requirements set by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), represents one of IT’s most critical investments. Vanguard Integrity Professionals provides a powerful suite of software applications designed to reduce the audit and compliance burden.
