IT Audit and Compliance
mValent Integrity™ promotes systematic compliance with corporate governance and regulatory initiatives by enabling customers to establish standards for application configurations, implement management controls over them, actively monitor changes and immediately remedy problems in the application infrastructure.
Critical business applications depend on IT infrastructure to stay up and running. Regulations such as Sarbanes-Oxley, HIPAA, Gramm-Leach Bliley, and best practices like COBIT address high-level corporate governance issues, but they typically fall short on implementation details or advice. As a result, IT struggles to connect those broad initiatives with its daily operational concerns.
This much is clear: Whether mandated specifically by regulations or interpreted as required by the company’s internal or external auditors, IT teams must either take proactive steps to establish and demonstrate control, or play catch up with the audit committee and its recommendations.
Nowhere is IT’s audit and compliance challenge more complex than in the application infrastructure with its multiple application servers, Web servers, databases, and middleware, all interconnected and distributed across complex heterogeneous hardware and operating systems. IT infrastructure teams need a single, unified approach to establish standards for control, to capture changes as they occur, and to take remedial actions across this complex, distributed environment.
mValent Integrity leads the way in audit and compliance for application infrastructure by enabling IT to:
- Establish configuration standards - mValent Integrity lets IT define reusable standards for automating the configuration of the entire application infrastructure—application servers, Web servers, databases, and middleware.
