Vanguard Compliance Manager for IBM i (VCMi)
If your business relies on IBM i systems, ensuring both robust security and compliance with regulatory frameworks is essential. VCMi is a state-of-the-art solution developed with the assistance of Vanguard Integrity Professional’s expertise in safeguarding complex z/OS enterprise environments, empowering organizations to enforce the Center for Internet Security (CIS)1 standards on their systems.
The challenge with CIS standards lies in their evolving complexity, making intricate details difficult to grasp and often leading to manual processes that overwhelm IT teams. By automating audit and compliance, VCMi eliminates the inefficiencies and inherent risks of manual environment checks, leading to significant time savings and more accurate reports.
Additionally, VCMi produces and automates a step-by-step vulnerability assessment in preparation for meeting the rigors of any type of compliance audit on the IBM i platform.
