Re: HIPPA and SOX compliance

You can have Windows itself do the auditing. What you really need is a tool
to read the windows security logs.

I would suggest a preliminary audit of the files on the server. Divide them
up into at least 3 categories. One would be "If this information got out it
would ruin the company" Information in this category would include info
that a competitor could use to get an advantage over your company. It would
include information that would cause negative press (loss of business
because of damage to the company reputation).

You would audit the files on the server by asking questions to the
department heads. The main question would be "what would happen if this
folder somehow got released to the public?"

The second category would be information that needs to be kept secure
between departments in the same company. Payroll information, user's
personal information etc..

The third category would be made up of information that is public
knowledge. Website content, press releases, etc...

This would allow you to refine and target your auditing to get the most
benefit. One possible solution would be to move all the folders in
category 1 to a single server, tighten it down and audit it properly.

I am looking for a good, quality 3rd party software that will monitor our
primary files servers. We have 4 file servers, averageing about 25TB of
data on each. We have roughly 6000 users. All servers are Win2K3 R2, all
workstations are Windows XP Pro. We need to be able to audit when files
and folders have been created, modified, deleted, restored and by who at
any given time. Also need to be able monitor any form of security changes
that occur on any files or folders. Accuracy and performance are of utmost
importance, in that order. Any suggestions are greatly welcomed. Thanks
