Case Study: Cornell University enhances PeopleSoft auditing and reporting with Pathlock Native for PeopleSoft

Cornell University Enhances PeopleSoft Logging For Improved Auditing & Reporting With Pathlock Native for PeopleSoft

Cornell University, a higher education institution and long-time PeopleSoft customer, wanted to improve logging for PeopleSoft Campus Solutions. Its native authentication and database logs did not capture enough user activity detail, were bulky and unstructured, and made it difficult to support incident response, auditing, and compliance efforts. The university initially explored custom development, but found it too time-consuming, performance-heavy, and ultimately insufficient. Pathlock Native for PeopleSoft was selected to address these gaps.

With Pathlock Native for PeopleSoft, Cornell University gained rich user activity logging with contextual details such as user ID, access location, field- and transaction-level interactions, and IP addresses. Pathlock helped the university improve audit trails, speed up reporting and data visualization, and support GDPR and FERPA compliance reporting, while also strengthening insider threat detection and incident response. Cornell reported that Pathlock provided an effective solution, a smooth implementation, and ongoing support that exceeded expectations.
