GPC Electronics enhances ISO 27001 compliance with ADAudit Plus

Business challenges

• Lack of centralized visibility: GPC Electronics faced challenges with maintaining a centralized view of user access across their enterprise systems. This hindered the ability to efficiently track security events and provide decision-makers with the necessary information for compliance reviews.

The problem

Before implementing ADAudit Plus, GPC Electronics struggled with visibility of user activity across its enterprise network. "We had limited access to security events from a central location, which made it difficult to track critical events and report them for compliance purposes," explained Dat Vo, a representative of GPC Electronics. As a company working to meet ISO 27001 standards, they needed a solution that could provide detailed security audits, quick access to reports, and real-time monitoring of user activities, especially those occurring outside regular business hours.

The solution

ADAudit Plus helped GPC Electronics overcome these challenges by offering a centralized solution to track Active Directory changes and monitor user activity across the organization. The tool’s intuitive reporting system allows GPC Electronics to customize reports to meet their specific business requirements, making it easier to comply with ISO 27001 audits.

The company uses ADAudit Plus to monitor user logins and account lockouts, particularly focusing on activities from internet-connected devices outside of business hours. GPC Electronics is particularly impressed with ADAudit Plus' support team, which has been responsive and effective in resolving any issues that arise. "The support team is very responsive when issues arise and provides corrective solutions in a timely manner," Vo stated.

With ADAudit Plus, GPC Electronics has significantly improved its ability to meet its compliance requirements, with Vo saying "[ADAudit Plus] enhances our requirements for ISO 27001 compliance work. Its reporting tools provide some features when auditing time arrives." The reporting tools have become essential for auditing purposes, helping the company stay on top of security events and remain compliant with industry standards.
