Case Study: South River EMC achieves stronger IT security and PCI DSS compliance with EventTracker SIEM

How South River Electric Membership Corporation Succeeds at Security and PCI DSS

South River EMC is a member‑owned electric cooperative serving 43,000 members with 107 employees that must protect both its electric grid and members’ financial data while remaining PCI DSS compliant. Facing a cumbersome legacy system that made it hard to separate noise from real security incidents, South River EMC turned to EventTracker and implemented EventTracker SIEM to strengthen monitoring and reporting.

EventTracker deployed EventTracker SIEM to monitor 250 workstations, giving South River EMC granular log correlation, quick two‑minute access to detailed event records, prioritized incident classification, and faster isolation and correction of threats. Complementing the platform with EventTracker SIEMphonic managed services provided daily expert monitoring, reduced staff hours spent chasing alerts, improved PCI DSS reporting, and delivered measurable time savings and more actionable security visibility.
