Case Study: Zeon Chemicals LP achieves J‑SOX audit readiness and saves hours on monthly internal checks with Netwrix Auditor

Zeon Chemicals Prepares for J-SOX Audits and Saves Hours on Monthly Internal Checks

Zeon Chemicals LP, the U.S. subsidiary of Japan’s Zeon Corporation and a maker of synthetic rubbers and specialty resins, needed to tighten IT controls to meet J‑SOX requirements for protecting financial data. With five data centers, about 100 servers, 250 endpoints and 300+ users, the IT team lacked visibility into infrastructure changes and faced risks of data tampering and non‑compliance that could damage the company’s standing with its parent and shareholders.

By deploying Netwrix Auditor, Zeon centralized monitoring in a lightweight, single interface that didn’t impact system performance. The solution consolidated SQL and file‑server activity reports—saving at least two hours on monthly internal checks—enabled faster incident detection (identifying a rogue PC altering file attributes), automated audit reporting and strengthened J‑SOX controls, reducing the risk of breaches and simplifying both internal and external audits.
