ADAudit Plus empowers The Police Credit Union with intuitive monitoring and compliance reporting

Business challenges

• Complex compliance requirements: Managing and adhering to sector-specific compliance requirements proved to be a challenge for The Police Credit Union's IT team.
• Report generation: The organization required detailed and customizable reports for better insights.

The problem

The Police Credit Union faced significant challenges in managing Active Directory (AD) monitoring and compliance reporting. Their previous solutions were not only expensive but also difficult to configure and use. According to Victor To, the Senior Security Architect, achieving compliance with the National Credit Union Association (NCUA) and Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC) standards proved to be a mandatory requirement. The IT team at ThePCU deployed ManageEngine's ADAudit Plus at their IT environment.

The solution

ADAudit Plus was implemented to address these issues effectively. The Police Credit Union chose ADAudit Plus for its intuitive user interface, easy configuration, and extensive predefined reports. "The cost is much better than Netwrix, and it shows me exactly what I need to see with ease," says To, highlighting how ADAudit Plus offers a broad range of features at an affordable price point. The solution provided the institution with valuable features such as AD alerts, GPO monitoring, and custom reports, significantly improving their monitoring capabilities. Compliance preparation became seamless, with ADAudit Plus ensuring adherence to NCUA and FFIEC requirements. Additionally, it enhanced security by tracking logon activity, detecting the source of account lockouts, and auditing changes to AD objects and administrator actions.
