Benefits of Blumira’s Compliance Reports

• Save Time on Audit Prep – Generate pre-built compliance reports from your log data automatically
• Convenient Reports When You Need Them – Set up compliance reports to run and send to your inbox regularly, monthly, quarterly, and annually
• Streamline Compliance Assessments – Easily demonstrate how you meet multiple controls, such as password resets, failed logins, account lockouts and many more.

What is a Compliance Report?

Compliance reports turn internal policies and daily security activities into documented proof that an organization is meeting industry or framework standards. When an auditor asks, "Are you actually doing what you claim to be doing?', these reports are your evidence.

Periodically, an organization may have to undergo audit assessments by a third-party to certify (or re-certify) their compliance. Having automated compliance reports available-at-the-ready can make the process go much smoother, alleviating the burden of manually producing regular reports.

An Example of Blumira’s Compliance Reports

One example report is ISO 27001 - Failed Logins. This helps organizations prove that they have a process in place to review logs related to user access management -- that only authorized users have access to the resources they need and only have the level of access they need (ISO 27001 A.9.2). ISO 27001 guidance for this requirement includes monitoring and auditing user access.

Reviewing failed logins can enable organizations to identify brute force and other credential attacks that could put access to data at risk. Blumira has many more pre-built reports to help you prove compliance with multiple ISO 27001 controls.
