Case Study: Palmer College of Chiropractic achieves increased privileged-user accountability and streamlined compliance with Netwrix Auditor

Palmer College of Chiropractic Increases Accountability of Privileged Users to Stay Compliant

Palmer College of Chiropractic, the world’s oldest and largest chiropractic school with campuses in Iowa, Florida and California, faced strict regulatory requirements (HIPAA, PCI DSS, FERPA) that demanded continuous monitoring of privileged users and tracking of configuration changes across critical systems like Active Directory, Group Policy, SQL Server and VMware. Non‑compliance risked heavy penalties and damage to the college’s reputation, so the IT team needed better visibility and accountability for who accessed and changed sensitive systems and data.

The college deployed Netwrix Auditor to gain a high‑level overview plus detailed, searchable records of who did what, when and where. The solution’s ease of use accelerated investigations (reducing time-to-root-cause from days to minutes), validated internal security policies, and added video-style auditing of privileged activity to deter improper behavior—helping Palmer improve security awareness, streamline compliance and audits, boost IT efficiency and reduce costs.
