Maintain continuous compliance across your mainframe environment

Security policies require active enforcement, yet operational changes often create drift, accumulate permissions, and lead to unnoticed misalignments that can cause vulnerabilities or audit issues. 

Rocket z/Assure Compliance automates recurring comparisons between your live IBM Z® environment and your approved security policies, providing clear visibility into configuration drift and misaligned permissions. 

 

Practical controls for continuous assurance 

capability 1

Customizable policy baselines

Begin with preloaded DISA STIG-based controls for IBM® z/OS®, then tailor the active policy to your organization’s approved security requirements.

Preloaded DoD DISA STIG-based policy templates

Organization-specific baseline customization

capability 2

Continuous drift detection

Monitor your environment and flag drift in real time so teams can respond quickly.

Real-time configuration drift detection

Immediate notification of policy deviations

capability 3

Role-based validation

Map users to defined roles and identify permissions that fall outside the access criteria established for each role.

Validate access against approved roles

Identify excessive or non-compliant permissions

capability 4

Audit-ready reporting

Use dashboard findings and PDF report outputs to support audit preparation. 

Real-time dashboard insights and analytics

Audit-ready evidence and reporting

How z/Assure Compliance work

Set up

z/Assure Compliance captures environment and dataset configuration, supports MRSP upload/activation, and drives jobs through z/OSMF.

Classify

z/Assure Compliance uses role definitions from MRSP and supports user-to-role assignment workflows. 

Compare

z/Assure Compliance runs automated checks from the active MRSP policy and stores per-check outcomes. 

Report

z/Assure Compliance presents dashboard analytics, detailed run reports, exportable results, and a final audit report to help teams investigate findings and prepare evidence
