reasons AD360 is more actionable than Netwrix Access Analyzer for NHS cybersecurity
Real-time access monitoring across AD and file systems for NHS DSPT requirements
Track every permission change, group membership update, and file access event with full audit trails, helping you meet NHS DSPT requirements and support data breach reporting mandates.
Built-in remediation—not just analysis: A key advantage over Netwrix Access Analyzer
Netwrix Access Analyzer shows you the problem. AD360 lets you fix it immediately by revoking access, disabling unused accounts, or reassigning users—all from the same dashboard.
Role-based access intelligence to align with NHS IG requirements
Unlike Netwrix Access Analyzer, AD360 correlates access rights with user identity, department, and job role—helping NHS IT teams prevent overprovisioning and align with information governance (IG) requirements.
Alerting on suspicious access changes to bolster NHS cybersecurity
Get notified of high-risk modifications like privilege escalations or unauthorized access to patient data. AD360 supports NHS cybersecurity for privileged accounts without relying on external alerting systems.
Hybrid-ready, cloud-aware visibility for NHS Data Security and Protection Toolkit compliance
AD360 supports on-premises, cloud, and hybrid environments—ideal for NHS teams transitioning to modern digital infrastructure while maintaining NHS Digital Data Security and Protection Toolkit compliance.
One deployment, everything included: A unified alternative to Netwrix Access Analyzer's modular approach
No add-ons. No extra modules. AD360 delivers audit tools NHS teams need in a single package—unlike Netwrix Access Analyzer, which often requires multiple products for enforcement, alerting, or reporting.
