Getting an IT environment through compliance audits can be a challenging and time-consuming task. Finding answers to the following auditor questions can be particularly problematic:
How do you trace effective user permissions?
Can you be sure which accounts map to which real-life users?
How are password policies enforced in the network?
How do you collate the various log files and reports across the domain to build a complete audit record?
How do you trace the activities of privileged accounts?
How are you validating segregation of duties during user provisioning?
And while NIS/NIS+ and LDAP offer centralized user administration, they fail to provide sufficient administrator access controls and logging to ensure that organizations pass audits. With ever-increasing compliance requirements, identity management, without the ability to enforce security policies, leaves an organization vulnerable to audit failures and security threats.
