Having the Best of Both Worlds: Business Intelligence and Data Security

Customer Stories:
Monro Muffler | Precoat Metals

There’s tremendous payback in providing your managers and users with powerful, easy-to-use reporting and analytic solutions that facilitate time-critical business and operational decisions. But the risk involved in extending access to corporate data can be costly and significant, especially if your company is affected by regulatory mandates – such as Sarbanes-Oxley – and auditors’ compliancy requirements. Plus, producing meaningful reports becomes complicated if you’re using data encryption to protect sensitive data, such as credit card numbers or customer information.

NGS’ secure business intelligence solutions can meet these challenges. Our integrated IQ SeQure security management module enables you to do the following:

  • control DB2 access at the field and record level by user
  • secure queries against unauthorized modification and execution
  • limit user authority to functions and modules within our NGS-IQ business intelligence products, such as e-mail, FTP, and data downloads

Our architecture further enables you to control your data access environment:

  • We do not use ODBC to connect to your database.
  • We will not allow users to overwrite a previously created query.
  • We furnish thorough documentation that auditors require.

NGS-IQ also integrates with Patrick Townsend & Associates’ Alliance AES encryption software, delivering a business intelligence and reporting solution that operates with encrypted data and provides the audit trails and control you need for compliance and liability:

  • encrypt and decrypt DB2 for i5/OS files and IFS files
  • encrypt fields in a DB2 for i5/OS file
  • create self-decrypting archives
  • manage AES keys and pass phrases
  • know who accessed sensitive business data

And still produces…

  • Excel workbooks
  • Multi-dimensional OLAP presentations
  • Web performance dashboards
  • Drillable Web pages

Please call 800.824.1220, ext. 229, to arrange a personal Web demonstration.
