World's First Compliance Workflow Management Solution Released by LogLogic

(April 15, 2009) - The general availability of LogLogic Compliance Manager, the world’s first compliance workflow management solution powered by log management is announced by the log management leader, LogLogic. LogLogic Compliance Manager will facilitate enterprises in any industry to automate compliance processes associated with the mandated, periodic review of user or system activity, mitigate risk and avoid human error.

“We developed Compliance Manager to help customers who need a scalable mechanism for managing their log-related compliance processes efficiently and who need to prove, at a glance, their compliance with mandatory log review requirements,” said Sudha Iyer, Director of Product Management at LogLogic. “I’ve talked to customers who spend half of their day reviewing logs. They just don’t have enough time to get to their other tasks – having a solution like Compliance Manager will not only give them some of their time back, but also help them collaborate with others in the log review process.”

While enterprises subject to regulatory compliance implement a variety of technologies, including automated log management, to achieve their compliance objectives, they still face challenges in managing compliance processes to ensure audit cycles are effective and efficient. In particular, while many organizations now collect and archive log data, much fewer get around to reviewing the log data pro-actively. The SANS Institute found in a recent 2009 survey that pro-active reviews of log data correlate directly with an organization’s satisfaction with its log management capabilities.

The industry has thus far lacked a product to automate compliance workflow process, enforce service level agreements (SLAs) defining who should be looking at which log data at a given time and provide both real-time and historic information of the overall compliance posture of an organization, compliance activities, associated analysis and executive dashboards. Businesses often end up managing these types of compliance processes with spreadsheets, documents or emails, which are vulnerable to version control issues and human error. Many other organizations don’t perform pro-active reviews at all and just dump their log data into a black hole archive. LogLogic Compliance Manager centralizes all compliance activities and communications to ensure that the path to compliance remains steady and efficient.

“Compliance remains a major driver for log management solutions,” said Pat Sueltz, CEO of LogLogic. “Our customers have been asking for us to help them manage compliance as easily as we help them manage their logs. LogLogic was the first to focus specifically on the compliance business problem and Compliance Manager re-enforces our thought leadership in the market with respect to compliance solutions.”
