Case Study: The Donohoe Companies, Inc. achieves enhanced data security and accountability with Netwrix Auditor

Large Private Real Estate Company Increases Data Security and Accountability in Their IT Environment with Netwrix Auditor

The Donohoe Companies, founded in 1884, is the oldest full‑service real estate and development firm in the Washington, DC region, responsible for major office, hotel, retail and institutional projects. Their IT team faced limited oversight of file server and Active Directory activity, short native audit retention (about seven days), and constrained resources — making it difficult to track changes, consolidate logon events, prevent breaches and meet compliance needs.

Donohoe deployed Netwrix Auditor and Netwrix Logon Reporter to consolidate and archive logon events, audit file, folder and permission changes, and deliver automated daily reports. The roughly four‑month rollout was straightforward, support was strong, and the solution provided long‑term log storage, clear “who/what/when/where” reporting and improved data visibility — increasing security and accountability while helping avoid downtime and data breaches.
