Compliance Reporting

CA Enterprise Log Manager lets you gather and process security-relevant data and turn it into reports suitable for internal or external auditors. You can interact with queries and reports for investigations. You can automate the reporting process by scheduling report jobs.

The system provides:

• Easy to use query capability with tags
• Near-real time reporting
• Centrally searchable, distributed archives of critical logs

Its focus is on compliance reporting rather than real-time correlation of events and alerts. Regulations demand reporting that demonstrates compliance with industry-related controls. CA Enterprise Log Manager provides reports with the following tags for easy identification:

• Basel II
• COBIT
• COSO
• EU Directive - Data Protection
• FISMA
• GLBA
• HIPAA
• ISO\IEC 27001\2
• JPIPA
• JSOX
• NERC
• NISPOM
• PCI
• SAS 70
• SOX

You can review predefined log reports or perform searches based on criteria you specify. New reports are provided with subscription updates.

Log view capabilities are supported by the following:

• On demand query capability with predefined or user-defined queries, where results can include up to 5000 records
• Quick search, through Prompts, for a specified host name, IP address, port number, or user name
• Scheduled and on demand reporting with out-of-the-box reporting content
• Scheduled query and alerting
• Basic reports with trending information
• Interactive, graphical event viewers
• Automated reporting with email attachment
• Automated report retention policies

Note: For details on using predefined queries and reports or creating your own, see the CA Enterprise Log Manager Administration Guide.
