Enforcing & Monitoring Employee Access

For more than a decade, government and industry bodies around the world have issued a growing number of regulations designed—in whole or in part—to ensure the security, integrity, and confidentiality of personal and corporate data. These mandates span a range of industries:

REGULATIONS	INDUSTRIES AFFECTED
HIPAA	Healthcare
PCI DSS	Any organization that accepts credit cards
Data Protection Act	Any organization that processes personal data
ISO 27001 Certification	Organization's that require ISO certification
Basel II, GLBA, and FFIEC	Financial Services
FDA CFR Part 11	Pharmaceutical, medical device manufacturers, and other FDA regulated industries
NERC and CIP	Utilities
Sarbanes-Oxley (SoX)	Any publicly traded company

Access Control Requirements
All of these regulations share common access control requirements—controlling user authentication and access, enforcing strong password policies, implementing strong authentication, monitoring all authentication events, automatically terminating access for unauthorized or terminated users, and providing reporting that confirms users are no longer authorized to access a system.
