The chances are that you face regulatory compliance demands to ensure the security of your data. If you have a System i computer in your organization (or iSeries or AS/400), you will need special compliance software to give you the added protection, monitoring, auditing and other security capabilities required to achieve compliance on OS400-based machines.

If your company is a publicly listed company in the US, you will have to be compliant with the Sarbanes Oxley Bill. If you issue your own credit or payment cards, then you must comply with the requirement set down in the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS). Health funds and health-related organizations are compelled in the US to comply with the demands of HIPAA, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act. In Europe, Basel II is dominant, Canada has its Bill 198 and in Japan JSOX is the main regulatory standard.

The Bsafe/Policy Compliance Manager is a tool to help you create, document and maintain a clear security policy for your organization. First of all you set up easy-to-create templates. After defining the policy you have decided on, you proceed to the next step of running a compliancy check against the actual definitions in your system. This check produces a report showing any deviations from your policy template. Finally, after checking the deviations, you have the option of aligning the actual definitions in the system to that of the policy template either object by object or collectively in a single operation.
