Case Study: City of Artesia secures police evidence and ensures continuous compliance with Netwrix Auditor for File Servers (Netwrix)

City of Artesia Signs Netwrix Auditor for File Servers to Affirm Data Safety and Continuous Compliance

The City of Artesia’s IT/GIS Department, which manages the city’s data, voice and mapping systems, faced a critical challenge: police demanded proof that electronic police-evidence files were securely stored and that all access and changes could be audited to meet federal compliance requirements. The department needed a solution to report on who accessed, modified or removed sensitive evidence files and to demonstrate continuous data integrity and control.

They deployed Netwrix Auditor for File Servers to capture detailed audit trails of file activity, provide scheduled reports and enable drill-down investigation of any change. As a result, Artesia gained complete visibility into its file servers, strengthened protections around police evidence, improved incident detection and prevention, and established a reliable internal control that supports ongoing compliance.
