Case Study: Clairvaux MacKillop College achieves complete Active Directory visibility and mitigates privilege misuse with Netwrix Auditor (Netwrix)

Clairvaux MacKillop College Strengthens Security and Mitigates the Risk of Privilege Misuse with Netwrix Auditor

Clairvaux MacKillop College, a Catholic secondary school in Brisbane with about 1,300 student and 150 staff Active Directory accounts, faced growing IT security and operational challenges. Spikes in account and Group Policy changes at the start and end of the school year, plus contractor admins with elevated access, left the IT team without clear visibility into who was making changes — forcing time-consuming manual log reviews and increasing the risk of misconfiguration or privilege misuse.

The college deployed Netwrix Auditor for Active Directory to monitor all AD and GPO changes, send real-time alerts, and produce easy-to-read reports showing who changed what, when and where. The solution was quick to implement and affordable, saving the IT team hours of manual work, improving accountability and compliance, and enabling proactive prevention of unauthorized or risky changes to protect sensitive data.
