Case Study: Healthcare company serving 50 million achieves SOC2 compliance with Precisely’s Ironstream for Splunk

Healthcare Company - Customer Case Study

Healthcare Company, a large healthcare leader serving some 50 million people, was struggling to meet SOC2 requirements for security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality and privacy across its three IBM mainframes. Its IBM zSecure plus home‑grown approach couldn’t efficiently process the daily SMF security records or satisfy reporting for its claims processing application, so the customer engaged Precisely and evaluated Precisely’s Ironstream product with Splunk Enterprise.

Precisely implemented Ironstream to securely forward roughly 20 GB/day of filtered SMF records in real time into Splunk Enterprise (scalable to ~800 GB/day), automating monitoring of log‑on attempts, password changes and user access violations. As a result, Healthcare Company met SOC2 audit thresholds, eliminated manual zSecure processes and related costs, reduced forwarded data volume through Ironstream filtering, and gained a scalable, low‑overhead platform for future analytics and compliance use cases.
