Landspitali University Hospital Secures Medical Research and Data Protected by GDPR and Icelandic Privacy Law

Auður Ester Guðlaugsdóttir, system administrator at Landspitali, explained her choice of Netwrix Auditor: “It is very smooth and provided all audit data we needed. And everything was working right away.”

• Ensured security of sensitive files. Now the IT department can carefully audit activity that might involve sensitive data, including the personal data of patients or employees, to ensure compliance with the regulations above. They review daily activity across the IT infrastructure and also receive alerts about actions that could put data at risk, such as multiple failed access attempts or someone logging in using a disabled account. Thus, they can spot anomalies in time to protect data from being compromised.
• Streamlined privilege attestations. To ensure that only authorized staff can access sensitive data, the hospital’s management requires the IT team to regularly provide reports on access rights so anyinappropriate permissions can be identified and revoked. Netwrix Auditor streamlines this process, enabling Auður’s team provide accurate reports in less than an hour, whilst before it took 60 hours.
• Enhanced control over Active Directory. Netwrix Auditor provides profound visibility into what happens across Active Directory, which is at the very heart of the hospital’s IT infrastructure. The IT department is notified about changes to the membership of critical groups like Domain Admins, critical computer accounts, OUs, etc., so they can take action quickly to prevent security breaches or system disruptions.
