Case Study: Wolters Kluwer France achieves full audit compliance and secures third-party access with WALLIX AdminBastion

Wolters Kluwer France chooses WALLIX to secure external access and enhance compliance

Wolters Kluwer France, a 900‑employee subsidiary managing 1,000 Mac and Windows desktops across two sites, needed to tighten control over privileged users and external providers after a financial audit highlighted gaps in access control and traceability. Concerned about the lack of oversight and recording of third‑party activities, IT head Philippe Emorine selected WALLIX and its Wallix AdminBastion solution to meet auditors' recommendations for secure, auditable access.

WALLIX deployed Wallix AdminBastion as a two‑node high‑availability cluster on the main site (with a third appliance added on the backup site), providing privileged user and password management, access control and agentless session recording. The implementation was quick and non‑disruptive and delivered real‑time visibility, full audit trails and reporting—enabling Wolters Kluwer France to trace any external operation, clarify accountability, simplify compliance audits and achieve 100% auditing compliance while meeting TCO goals.
