Case Study: Equity Methods achieves SAS 70 compliance and real-time security visibility with EventTracker

Equity Methods - Customer Case Study

Equity Methods, a global market leader in complex accounting reporting solutions, faced the need to demonstrate SAS 70/SOX safeguards and ensure the integrity and confidentiality of customer data through strict IT controls and auditable processes. To meet these requirements, Equity Methods implemented EventTracker for centralized log collection and actionable security intelligence.

EventTracker consolidated and correlated millions of events from disparate devices in real time via a central web-based console with role-based access, analytics, policy-based alerts and an integrated reporting engine with over 500 pre-defined reports. As a result, Equity Methods shortened the gap between detection and remediation (for example, catching an antivirus removal before a larger incident), reduced forensic and audit effort from “several hours” to less than an hour per week, and can efficiently demonstrate controls to auditors—meeting its compliance objectives while improving overall security visibility.
