Compliance & Control

“As IT and the business process become increasingly inseparable, IT Operations has to be in a position to provide necessary compliance information for regulations, such as Euro-SOX, Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards, Basel II and Gramm-Leach-Bliley. Thus job scheduling tools that automate some of these mission critical business processes should provide operational control and data to the businesses to demonstrate compliance.”

ActiveBatch® addresses emerging audit and security requirements to limit the risk of unauthorized changes with its implementation of new traceability, revision control and compliance functionality.

ActiveBatch’s audit architecture has been enhanced in this current version to allow for the creation of customized audit fields that can either be optional or mandatory in order to meet the specific requirements from internal and external organizations.

ActiveBatch Audit fields can be required when objects within the ActiveBatch system are modified, triggered, updated, or added. Fields can be created to require a Description, approved by, authorization ID or any other policy requirement.

Revision levels can be compared to past revisions to easily identify the specific differences between them.

ActiveBatch’s incorporation of the full Microsoft Security model, Kerberos, Active Directory or ADAM, as well as the private scheduling capability offered by the ActiveBatch Virtual Root, helps by reducing the scope of departments, divisions, or units to access or modify ActiveBatch objects thereby limiting the risk of inadvertent, unauthorized or undocumented changes to your automation environment.
