Case Study: Bank of the South achieves PCI DSS & GLBA compliance and full IT visibility with Netwrix Auditor (Netwrix)

Bank of the South Leverages Visibility Provided by Netwrix Auditor to Comply with PCI DSS and GLBA

Bank of the South, a community bank in Pensacola, needed to demonstrate continuous compliance with PCI DSS and GLBA by monitoring Active Directory, VMware and Windows Server activity. Their in‑house Windows‑log solution generated too much noise and required heavy manual effort, so the IT team sought an easy‑to‑manage system that would provide clear visibility, reliable reporting and faster audit preparation.

They implemented Netwrix Auditor to track changes and file access for about 70 users (including an offsite IT team), using predefined compliance reports, interactive search, real‑time alerts, privileged‑user screen recording and AD rollback capabilities. The solution reduced reporting workload, made audits quicker and more reliable—enabling one person to manage external exams, saving an estimated 40+ hours per year—and has delivered consistent regulatory visibility and praise for its support over six years of use.
