Case Study: Tukes (Finnish Safety and Chemicals Agency) achieves VAHTI compliance and centralized, cost-effective log management with NetIQ Sentinel

Tukes - Customer Case Study

The Finnish Safety and Chemicals Agency (Tukes) needed a better way to manage growing IT log data and meet stricter VAHTI regulations requiring five‑year retention. With logs scattered across individual servers and short retention times, Tukes lacked visibility into user activity and could not reliably produce the audit information required for compliance and investigations.

NetIQ partner Javerdel deployed a SaaS‑hosted NetIQ Sentinel solution integrated with Tukes’ email and Active Directory environments to centralize log collection and provide cost‑effective long‑term storage (disk plus tape). The service delivers weekly reports, full traceability of ~25,000 weekly logins, improved detection of anomalies and attempted attacks, and demonstrable compliance with VAHTI—all via a scalable, 24/7 managed SaaS model.
