Rocket® Mainframe Compliance Assessment Services
Ensure mainframe security alignment with corporate policy.
Does your mainframe suffer from excessive access? How do you know? Our compliance assessments help you prevent privileged access while ensuring that your security configuration parameters are in sync with your corporate security policy. We’ll set you up to identify exactly where your critical system configurations may be drifting in the future.
"33% conduct compliance assessments for their mainframes every one-to-two years, while a more proactive 56% undertake them annually."
Stay ahead of compliance challenges. All of them.
Without systematic attention to compliance, mainframe organizations face undue risk. By taking a base-lining approach to security configurations, security and risk management teams can build a continuous process for identifying where critical system configurations drift from policy while ensuring appropriate access for optimal compliance.
Rocket® Mainframe Compliance Assessment Services deliver a proactive approach to assessing mainframe compliance. Our services are designed and delivered by mainframe security teams with decades of knowledge and experience in protecting z/OS® systems and the data that resides on these systems.
Go deep on your mainframe to ask and answer questions:
- Are security parameters in sync with our corporate security policy?
- Do users have the appropriate access for their job function?
- How pervasive is excessive access?
- Is our audit logging appropriate for the level of access given to privileged authorities?
A comprehensive compliance assessment starts with a detailed discussion/definition of your needs and objectives. Next, we do a hands-on evaluation of the confidentiality and integrity of all physical and logical systems. Finally, we do a baseline assessment of your current operational environment against your Security Policy. An in-depth review of your current security and mainframe z/OS implementation is achieved using the Compliance Assessment Tool.
