Prevent, Detect, and Investigate to Activate Continuous Compliance In the face of an increasingly dynamic regulatory environment, your organization must act quickly to optimize and automate compliance activities through integration into business processes without compromising service quality, security, or performance. The Prevent, Detect, and Investigate (PDI) methodology provides a practical approach to using your existing technology infrastructure to continuously perform the identity-centric control activities required by any number of regulatory mandates or control frameworks, including Sarbanes-Oxley, PCI, CobiT, ITIL®, and many others. An integral part of the BMC Identity Management Suite, BMC Audit and Compliance Management provides the cost-efficient, flexible, and effective mechanisms that allow you to: Prevent – BMC Audit and Compliance Management enables business service managers to assign responsibility and appropriate access privileges correctly and consistently, every time. Detect – BMC Identity Compliance Manager 5.5, a component of the BMC Identity Management Suite 5.5, offers excellent usability, flexibility, and out-of-the-box monitoring capabilities that help business service managers demonstrate compliance quickly. This suite component gives your business service managers a simple, automated method of attesting to or recertifying staff access privileges on an ongoing basis, because even if you have excellent access, system, and configuration policies to satisfy auditors, you still need to verify that what is in practice matches the policy. Investigate – BMC Audit and Compliance Management helps you to adapt, evolve, and continuously improve your compliance and control structure based on the activity occurring every day, without respect to policy or controls in place. Whether it is through policy-driven corrective audit or privileged user monitoring and audit, BMC Audit and Compliance Management drives real business value from activity audit information.
