IT Compliance

The ever-growing compliance requirements in IT pose major challenges for companies across all industries. To meet data protection, security and industry-specific regulations, organizations must continuously monitor their IT infrastructure and implement timely adjustments.

Legally mandated audits require maximum transparency - BVQ° delivers this across compute, storage and network environments. Through cross-platform monitoring of all connected systems, BVQ° not only uncovers performance data but also configuration errors and potential security vulnerabilities. Continuous data collection and best-practice checks enable early detection of compliance risks, while regular reports provide fast and reliable audit documentation.

Key features supporting audits

1. Proactive compliance through continuous monitoring

Many compliance frameworks require ongoing monitoring to detect vulnerabilities early. BVQ° meets this need with:

• Cross-platform visibility: Unified view of all relevant platforms (e.g., VMware®, IBM PowerVM, Kubernetes), SAN and storage systems
• System Health Map: Over 700 checks to identify best-practice violations and configuration issues

Benefit: Early detection during daily operations helps avoid costly corrections or penalties during audits.

2. Transparent documentation for auditors and internal controls

Compliance demands traceability of every IT change. BVQ° ensures this through:

• Automated reports: Include both technical details (e.g., capacity and performance data) and executive summaries
• Long-term history: Archived data enables retrospective proof of compliance

Benefit: Recurring audits and internal reviews can rely on ready-made reports instead of time-consuming manual research.

3. Integrated incident and Change Management

In many industries, automated incident and change management is standard:

• Seamless ITSM integration: Alerts and monitoring data flow directly into incident management systems (e.g., ServiceNow®)
• Process automation: Tickets are automatically created for risky configuration changes or performance spikes - no manual steps required

Benefit: BVQ° ensures all changes are fully documented, making the process audit-proof and supporting regulatory traceability requirements.
 

Real-World examples
 

• Fast alerting: BVQ° automatically triggers incident tickets when security vulnerabilities are detected
• Regular reporting: Daily or weekly PDF reports reduce the workload for departments that would otherwise collect data manually
• Risk reduction: Best-practice checks provide early warnings for configuration errors or insufficient redundancy
   

Conclusion: less effort and more security in daily operations

In many organizations, fulfilling compliance tasks consumes a significant portion of daily operations. BVQ° reduces this burden by combining monitoring, analysis, alerting and reporting in a single tool. This helps close security gaps proactively and supports ongoing audits effectively.

The result: Greater security, less stress - and IT compliance that’s not just documented, but actively lived in day-to-day operations.
