Managing regulatory and internal database compliance is critical for enterprise database teams looking to comply with rules stipulated by internal security teams and regulatory bodies including:

  • Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX)

  • Basel II Accord

  • Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS)

  • Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA)

  • Food and Drug Administration (FDA) 21 CFR Part 11

  • Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA)

  • Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA)

  • Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act, Canada (PIPEDA)

Whether the business needs to apply a database security patch within 30 days, easily identify and remediate 'Gold Build' deviations or report database drift over time, GridApp Clarity™ can help. Related functionality includes:

  • Simple method to define a standard 'model' of a database, cluster, instance or any other object managed

  • Dramatic reduction in the certification process to deploy and patch databases as +100 step processes are reduced to 3-4 steps with highly predictable results - perfect for regulations

  • Inherent auditing of every certified process so all required reports are immediately generated and associated with that event in perpetuity

  • Custom reporting to conform to your company's current certified documentation requirements

Additionally, managing application configuration information is a critical administrative task for enterprises looking to improve control and stability. The concept of a Configuration Management Database (CMDB) represents the future in systems management, enabling organizations to baseline configurations, audit user activity, institute change management processes, institute security controls, and automate validation.

GridApp Clarity™ configuration management for databases enables organizations to bring the benefits of CMDB to database infrastructure management, building the foundation for a federated CMDB strategy while providing heightened control and efficiency across the database infrastructure.

GridApp Clarity also provides enhanced functionality around database license compliance enabling:

  • Automatic detection of which options/features are active at an individual database level

  • Ability to assign departmental license quotas by database feature and compare these quotas to actual use

  • Summary dashboards which provide instant visibility into your organization's license compliance
