ALWAYS-ON, ALWAYS-READY COMPLIANCE

A Single Platform for Compliance with Measurable Coverage and Posture Visibility

Exabeam provides detection rules, behavioral models, and prebuilt compliance reports to demonstrate to auditors that appropriate security controls are in place and aligned with international, national, and regional mandates. The Outcomes Navigator Compliance Posture Assessment scores coverage against frameworks like GDPR, PCI DSS, and SOX, turning compliance from a static reporting exercise into a measurable, improvable part of your security program.

GDPR mandates that organizations use state-of-the-art technologies to detect and respond to emerging threats (Articles 25, 32). The Exabeam user and entity behavior analytics (UEBA) capability applies machine learning to baseline normal behavior and assign a risk score to each event. Automated timelines visualize events based on risk.

Mitigate Insider Threats

Internal threats are the most difficult to detect. GDPR requires organizations to assess the risk of unauthorized access, alteration, destruction, or exfiltration of personal data at every stage of handling (Article 24). While identity and network access controls are integral to system protection, they often fail to identify insider behaviors that signal accidental or malicious activity. Exabeam behavioral analytics baselines normal user activity and assigns risk scores to anomalous behavior. Exabeam identifies insider threats—including lateral movement, privilege escalation, and data exfiltration—based on risk.

Predefined Compliance Reporting and Coverage Scoring

The Exabeam compliance and forensics reporting engine, combined with the Outcomes Navigator Compliance Posture Assessment, generates GDPR-specific reports and quantitative coverage scores. This reduces the time needed to prove compliance to auditors and track improvement over time.

Personally Identifiable Information

Protecting employees’ personally identifiable information (PII) from unauthorized access is a critical GDPR requirement. Exabeam provides role-based access control (RBAC) to enforce PII data masking. The New-Scale Security Operations Platform flags high-risk actions that represent potential security incidents for analysts. User information can remain masked until a credible risk is identified. Incidents are then escalated to data privacy officers (DPOs) for unmasking, ensuring individual privacy is preserved.

Reduce Breach Response Times

GDPR requires breach notification within 72 hours, but many organizations struggle to know when a breach has occurred. Traditional SIEM tools can take days or even months to detect a breach and understand its scope. Exabeam helps analysts quickly detect incidents and understand their full impact. By applying behavior-based risk scoring to all human and non-human entities, Exabeam minimizes false alarms, keeping analysts focused on credible threats. Automated Threat Timelines further accelerate detection, investigation, and response by consolidating all investigation artifacts into a cohesive visualization.

PCI DSS

Secure credit card data and accelerate PCI DSS compliance.

PCI DSS promotes cardholder data security and consistent data security measures globally. PCI compliance is mandatory for any organization that handles credit card data, and failure to comply can result in daily penalties and fines.

Comprehensive Compliance Logging with Posture Visibility

Effective event monitoring and continuous visibility are crucial to PCI DSS compliance. Outcomes Navigator adds posture scoring to highlight coverage gaps against PCI-aligned controls, helping teams prioritize remediation and reduce audit friction. Exabeam offers prebuilt PCI DSS compliance reports, such as “Failed VPN Logins” and “Remote Session Timeouts,” making it easy for auditors to verify compliance. The cloud-native New-Scale Platform allows organizations to retain over 10 years of searchable data, meeting retention requirements for both internal and external stakeholders.

While identity and network access controls help create a system protection framework, they often fail to identify insider behaviors that might indicate accidental or malicious activity. Exabeam behavioral analytics baselines normal user activity and assigns a risk score to anomalous behavior. Insider threats are readily identified based on risk, whether it’s lateral movement, privilege escalation, or a related data exfiltration event.

Automated Threat Detection with UEBA

PCI DSS mandates rapid threat detection, emphasizing continuous account monitoring for privileged users and third-party vendors. However, conventional security controls are often ineffective when attackers obtain legitimate user credentials. Exabeam uses continuous behavioral analytics to understand normal behavior for all users and entities, including AI agents. Any flagged behaviors are instantly assigned a risk score. All activity is automatically organized into timelines, providing security teams with contextual information for efficient investigation and response. As a result, analysts can quickly detect insider threats, compromised accounts, and data loss.

Simplify PCI DSS Scope Reduction

To lower the cost of a PCI DSS assessment, many organizations limit their PCI scope. This reduces the cost and difficulty of implementing and maintaining controls and lowers the risk of noncompliance. Exabeam provides hundreds of prebuilt detection models to immediately flag PCI scope violations and prevent surprises during a PCI audit.

Automated Incident Response

PCI DSS guidelines emphasize the need for fast and effective incident response. Exabeam automates this process by organizing all user and entity events into risk-scored timelines. This gives analysts a clear view of the attack scope so they can use prebuilt or custom playbooks to orchestrate and automate their response.

Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) Compliance

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 was passed by the U.S. Congress to protect against fraudulent practices and improve the accuracy of corporate disclosures.

Information security professionals play a key role in a company’s SOX compliance. Subsequently amended to include cybersecurity considerations, SOX recognizes the importance of protecting people, systems, and data to ensure fair and transparent financial reporting.

Event and Sensitive File Access Monitoring

Businesses operate in distributed environments that use internal and external infrastructure. To gain visibility and monitor for SOX compliance, logs must be collected from all operating environments. Exabeam helps security teams quickly and accurately identify risky financial activity, regardless of its location. To do this, it ingests log data across disparate domains—such as cloud, database, email, and applications—and assembles it into a coherent activity chain to give analysts a complete view. For detecting data tampering, Exabeam has built-in file monitoring models that track every file-related action, including initial access, attaching data to an email, downloading, or writing to a USB drive.

Automated Threat Detection with UEBA

A fundamental requirement for financial systems is to restrict sensitive data access to authorized personnel. The only way to meet this requirement is to understand the typical behavior of all users and entities. Exabeam analyzes and models user and entity behavior to establish a baseline of normal activity. Whenever there is any suspicious activity, even from users with valid credentials, Exabeam alerts analysts. Additionally, Exabeam provides actionable insights on alerts from other security solutions, giving analysts the context needed to take quick, decisive action.

Enable Rapid Investigation

SOX Section 302 requires organizations to implement systems that protect against data tampering, track timelines, and evaluate the who, what, where, and when of data access. Creating accurate incident timelines, particularly for insider threats, can be challenging and time consuming. The Exabeam UEBA capability identifies risky activities, then automatically creates timelines for analysts to investigate. Automating parts of the investigation removes pressure on limited security resources and helps analysts efficiently fulfill the Section 302 requirement. The Compliance Posture Assessment helps SOX-focused teams quantify control coverage and demonstrate improvement, supporting Section 302 reporting with clear evidence of monitoring and accountability.

Effective Incident Response

SOX emphasizes prevention, but effective incident response is equally important. Exabeam automatically generates daily timelines for each user and device, presenting a chronological record of all activity. This comprehensive view gives analysts a full picture of an attack so they can use predefined response actions or custom playbooks to orchestrate and automate remediation.
