About this task
Db2 administrators are overwhelmed with audit requests and compliance mandates such as GDPR, PCI, SOX, and HIPAA. DBAs spend thousands of hours manually collecting logs, enabling native logging, and preparing reports, all of which slow down critical systems and increase operational risk.
Guardium Data Protection provides continuous real-time monitoring and logging for Db2 environments without requiring native logging. Prebuilt policies for major regulations like GDPR, PCI DSS, HIPAA, and SOX are included out of the box. With centralized policy enforcement and customizable reports, DBAs can automate compliance workflows and deliver audit-ready documentation on demand.
Some key features of Guardium Data Protection that help with monitoring regulatory compliance include the following.
- Real-time monitoring: Tracks all database activity, including queries, changes, and access attempts
- Anomaly detection: Identifies unusual patterns of behavior that might indicate a security threat or compliance issue
- Audit trails: Maintains a record of all changes that are made to data, including who made the change and when
- Compliance reporting: Provides pre-built reports and dashboards to help organizations demonstrate compliance with regulatory requirements
