What is C.A.M. - Continuous Auditing and Monitoring?

Most traditional audits entail a checklist review approach that is performed infrequently.

DataGuardZ methodology is designed to break away from the limitations that come with traditional audits. Our Continuous Auditing and Monitoring (C.A.M.) approach offers repeated and extensive security tests on numerous highly critical platforms.

The greatest benefit from C.A.M. is a high level of security consistency across the environment and rapid discovery and reporting of potential threats and vulnerabilities. Unlike traditional audits, C.A.M. allows discovered vulnerabilities to be remedied immediately before the bad guys discover and exploit such security holes. Traditional IT Audits and Security Assessments address only short-term solutions that may become useless as soon as there is a change in the environment, no matter how minimal the change may be. The inevitable changes can introduce new security holes that were not detected by prior assessments. DataGuardZ will help your organization shift resources and efforts to where it is most needed.

Most industry regulation requires that security assessments be performed either semi-annually or whenever there is a change to the production environment. By implementing DataGuardZ’s C.A.M. methodology, management has greater control of the organization’s technological risks while satisfying legal and regulatory requirements.
