Case Study: David Nieper achieves fast, cost-effective PCI‑DSS compliance with Precisely's Assure Monitoring and Reporting

David Nieper - Customer Case Study

David Nieper, a UK designer and manufacturer of luxury women’s fashion, faced the challenge of meeting strict PCI‑DSS requirements across multiple IBM POWER 814 LPARS by reporting on IBM i journals with real-time exception alerts, daily summaries of hundreds of thousands of journal entries, ad hoc querying, year-long retention, Splunk integration, central management and no impact on application performance. To meet these needs they chose Precisely’s Assure Monitoring and Reporting.

Precisely (working with UK partner Rowton IT Solutions Ltd) deployed Assure Monitoring and Reporting across multiple LPARS in a matter of days, delivering real‑time alerts, scheduled and ad‑hoc reports (PDF/XLS/CSV/Db2), Splunk integration and retained extracted audit data with minimal system overhead. The result was PCI‑DSS‑ready auditing far faster than a bespoke build (days versus weeks), cost‑effective centralized reporting, consolidated security insights into Splunk, and no noticeable performance impact after six months.
