Business challenges

  • Required a solution to audit and proactively monitor AD.
  • Unable to export crucial reports generated from its previous tool.
  • Staying compliant with SOX and GDPR mandates.

The problem

Bright Horizons underwent a rigorous auditing procedure for SOX and GDPR compliance. Operating with a reporting tool that lacked exporting capabilities, Bright Horizon's IT team was manually capturing screenshots and documenting them. This manual process was time-consuming and inefficient.

Bright Horizons needed a tool to solve its two significant requirements: managing its AD environment and tracking any changes made to its AD environment. The team began the search for a perfect identity and access management (IAM) solution.

"We were looking for an IAM solution that would provide us real-time reports to monitor our environment, recent changes made, and export such reports to stay compliant with SOX and the GDPR."

Ananta Upadhaya, Bright Horizons

The solution

During its evaluation of IAM solutions, Bright Horizon tested ManageEngine AD360. The solutions' capabilities were perfectly aligned with the organization's needs—especially the AD management and auditing modules.

It didn't take long before AD360 completely changed the IT team's auditing and monitoring processes. With over 250 built-in real-time reports, the auditing module helped them track any changes made to the environment, such as GPO changes and file permission changes. The AD management module helped them automate bulk user account creations, manage passwords, manage file server permissions, and more.

"We sensed the true potential of AD360 right from our demo sessions. Our management and auditing procedures evolved using this solution. AD360 will be our highly recommended IAM solution to industry peers."
