Case Study: FARO achieves improved data security and SOX, PCI and GDPR compliance with Netwrix Auditor (Netwrix)

FARO Secures Sensitive Data and Complies with SOX, PCI and GDPR

FARO Technologies, a global leader in 3D imaging and portable measurement solutions, stores large volumes of sensitive employee and customer data across more than 20 locations and a largely hybrid IT environment. Its U.S. security team needed continuous monitoring to prevent unauthorized access, control privileged IT staff activity, and demonstrate compliance with SOX, PCI and GDPR to avoid fines and reputational damage.

FARO deployed Netwrix Auditor for Active Directory, Office 365 and Windows Server, using out‑of‑the‑box compliance reports and hybrid‑environment visibility. Within a year the company gained detailed visibility into SharePoint Online, OneDrive and Exchange Online activity, simplified and sped up SOX/PCI/GDPR audits with quick report generation, and reduced insider risk by monitoring privileged accounts—resulting in improved data security, streamlined compliance and faster incident detection.
