Internal Control and Audits
Internal control and audit systems are of fundamental importance for information security. DatAdvantage from Varonis is a great ally for company compliance with regulatory standards such as PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard), SOX (Sarbanes-Oxley Act), BACEN and ISO 27001.
Internal control is mainly intended to assure that processes that occur in the company, both human and automatic, do not suffer deviations from the original purpose.
Audits exist to assure that internal controls adopted by the company are efficient. They are carried out to certify that internal security controls are working as expected and if they truly protect company data against threats and possible violations – internal or external.
DatAdvantage offers various internal control and audit features. Learn about seven of these features:
- File Server – discover who did what in files and folders on your company’s network.
- Definition of permissions – choose which folders your employees can have access to.
- Behavior monitoring – intelligently analyze user movement on the network.
- Alerts – receive alerts about suspicious activities and possible data violations.
- Recommendations – find some tips about permissions that will help you with internal control and audits.

In addition to these seven characteristics, internal control and audit systems help companies precisely define privileges and restrictions for the use of data in order to avoid fraud, reduce risk and avoid exposure of confidential information.
