-------- Presentation Detail --------
Using Open Source Tools for Regulatory Compliance
And how to make your auditors accept it
Many open source tools are available to assist in meeting many different
regulatory compliance objectives including ones for PCI, SOX, and HIPAA.
One of the major issues with using open source tools comes with
acceptance from internal and external auditing teams. Most of these
issues can be overcome with detailed documentation but for each tool
discussed a solution for how we justified it to our auditors will be
discussed as well. Working with your auditors to verify tools and
methodologies used whether open source or not is a key element to
success in passing audits and depending on your auditors they may be
more or less accepting of open source.
