Credit Union of Denver Ensures NCUA Compliance and Keeps Costs under Control

8 hours

Saved on audits quarterly

4 hours

Saved on compliance routine weekly

Before we started using Netwrix Auditor, preparing for the audit was not only a long-painful task, it was also rather expensive. Netwrix suits us because it is simple and efficient. It saves us about 8 hours on preparing for the quarter audit, and approximately 4 hours weekly on gathering audit data as reference for future audits.

Netwrix Auditor reports deliver me precisely what I need to investigate the issue. This helps me to be 100% certain that I am aware of any critical change. As a part of security trainings, I also show the reports to the administrators to examine the mistakes and find possible enhancements in their efficiency.
