File Access Auditing Compliance
Many compliance mandates require auditing file access and ensuring file integrity. PA File Sight can help meet those requirements, including those listed below:
- PCI (Payment Card Industry) DSS 10.5.5, 11.5, 12.9.5
- SOX (Sarbanes-Oxley) DS5.5
- GLBA 16 CFR Part 314.4(b) and (3)
- HIPAA 164.312(b)
- FISMA AC-19, CP-9, SI-1, SI-7
- ISO 27001/27002 12.3, 12.5.1, 12.5.3, 15.3
- NIST 800-53 and NIST 800-171
PA File Sight can monitor log files. It can alert on writes (changes) to files, but ignore the expected appends to log files. This lets you detect log tampering.
How to Get Started?
File monitoring doesn't need to be complicated. PA File Sight can be installed and configured in literally a minute or two. Specify a local path and some file types to watch and it will get to work immediately.
