The ever-growing compliance requirements in IT pose significant challenges for companies across all industries. To meet data protection, security, and industry-specific regulations, IT infrastructure must be continuously reviewed and adjustments implemented in a timely manner.

Legally mandated audits require maximum transparency, which BVQ° can provide for compute, storage, and network areas. By cross-platform monitoring of all connected systems within an infrastructure, not only performance data but also configuration errors and potential security vulnerabilities are uncovered. Through continuous data collection and best-practice checks, BVQ° identifies potential compliance violations early; regular reports enable quick audit proof.

Financial Sector (Banks, Insurance)

• Relevant Regulations: MaRisk (Minimum Requirements for Risk Management), KWG (German Banking Act), BAIT (Supervisory Requirements for IT in Financial Institutions)
• BVQ° Added Value: Comprehensive monitoring, automatic alerting, seamless reports; facilitates audits according to DORA (Digital Operational Resilience Act)

Healthcare

• Relevant Regulations: GDPR, KHZG (Hospital Future Act)
• BVQ° Added Value: Proactive monitoring and reporting for more stability and security of sensitive patient data

Public Sector

• Relevant Regulations: OZG (Online Access Act), eIDAS, EU NIS2 Directive
• BVQ° Added Value: Cross-platform view of data centers, SAN networks, and compute environments; meaningful evidence for audits

Retail and E-Commerce

• Relevant Regulations: GDPR, PCI-DSS (for credit card payments)
• BVQ° Added Value: In-depth monitoring of all connected systems within a single interface, identifying security leaks and performance bottlenecks before they become critical

Industry and Manufacturing Companies

• Relevant Regulations: ISO/IEC 27001, other industry standards
• BVQ° Added Value: Supports comprehensive documentation of every change and incident, significantly easing internal audits and proof obligations

1.    Proactive Compliance through Continuous Monitoring Many compliance rules require permanent monitoring to detect security vulnerabilities early. BVQ° meets this requirement by:

• Cross-platform visibility across all systems: All relevant platforms (e.g., VMware®, IBM PowerVM, Kubernetes) as well as SAN and storage systems in one interface
• System Health Map: Over 700 checks that detect best-practice violations and configuration errors

Advantage: Identifying gaps in daily operations avoids costly corrections or sanctions 
during audits.

2.    Transparent Documentation for Auditors and Internal Controls Compliance requires that every change in IT is traceable. BVQ° ensures this by:

• Automated reports: Include both technical details (e.g., capacity and performance information) and management summaries
• Long-term history: All data is archived, allowing retrospective proof of compliance

Advantage: Recurring audits or internal controls can rely on ready-made reports 
instead of laborious individual research.

3.    Integrated Incident and Change Management In many industries, automated processes for incident and change management are standard:

• Seamless ITSM integration: Alerts and monitoring data flow directly into incident management (e.g., ServiceNow®).
• Process automation: Ticket creation occurs automatically for dangerous configuration changes that violate internal rules or best practices, or for peak loads – without manual intervention

Advantage: BVQ° ensures that adjustments are comprehensively documented. This 
makes the process audit-proof and supports regulatory requirements for traceability.

• Quick Alerting: BVQ automatically responds to security vulnerabilities and triggers an incident ticket.
• Regular Reports: Daily or weekly PDF reports relieve departments that would otherwise have to manually collect data.
• Risk Minimization: Best-practice checks warn early of configuration errors or insufficient redundancy.

In many companies, fulfilling compliance tasks takes up a significant part of daily operations. BVQ° reduces this effort by bundling monitoring, analysis, alerting, and reporting into a central tool. This closes security gaps in advance and effectively supports ongoing audits.

The result: More security, less stress – and IT compliance that is not only on paper but lived in daily operations.
