Your mainframe security risk is enterprise risk

Your IBM Z® environment powers critical operations, regulated data, and high-value transactions. As cyber threats evolve, regulatory expectations rise, and modernization accelerates, you need more than security controls: you need confidence that risk is understood, managed, and continuously reduced.

Rocket z/Assurance helps organizations move beyond implementing security controls to continuously proving those controls are working across IBM Z. By continuously identifying risk, prioritizing remediation, and demonstrating compliance, Rocket z/Assurance helps prove critical systems are secure, compliant, and modernization-ready.​

Protect

Continuously strengthen security posture across critical IBM Z environments.

Prove

Demonstrate compliance, control effectiveness, and audit readiness.

Remediate

Prioritize vulnerabilities and patch risk with platform-specific precision.

Modernize securely

Adopt AI, hybrid integration, and modernization initiatives with confidence.

Security implements controls. Assurance proves they work.

Mainframe security controls are essential, but controls alone do not provide assurance. Organizations need confidence that risks are understood, controls remain effective, vulnerabilities are being addressed, and compliance can be demonstrated when needed.

Rocket z/Assurance provides the missing validation layer between technical security activities and enterprise risk management. By combining software, services, continuous monitoring, compliance validation, and deep IBM Z expertise, Rocket z/Assurance helps organizations move from assumed protection to continuous, evidence-based assurance.
