Achieve Continuous Compliance

A network audit is a comprehensive review of an organization’s network infrastructure, configurations, and security measures. It identifies vulnerabilities, evaluates compliance with industry standards such as NIST, ISO 27001, and PCI-DSS, and assesses the overall security posture. A network audit examines firewalls, routers, endpoints, and access controls to detect misconfigurations or performance issues that could lead to data breaches or cyberattacks.

Tufin helps organizations automate the network audit process, providing real-time visibility across network devices and streamlining remediation to maintain compliance and reduce downtime.

Network compliance refers to adhering to regulatory requirements, industry standards, and internal security policies that govern how network infrastructure is managed and protected. Compliance frameworks such as HIPAA, GDPR, PCI-DSS, and NIST require organizations to safeguard sensitive data, manage permissions properly, and maintain strong access controls.

Achieving compliance ensures that security risks are minimized, stakeholders are protected, and the organization can demonstrate accountability during audits or incident response events.

• Identify the scope of the audit, including all network devices, endpoints, and access points.
• Review security policies, firewall configurations, and permissions to ensure proper access controls.
• Perform vulnerability scanning and risk assessment to identify security threats and misconfigurations.
• Analyze network traffic and performance data using network auditing tools and monitoring systems.
• Verify compliance requirements against standards like HIPAA, ISO 27001, and PCI-DSS.
• Document findings in an audit report with clear remediation steps and optimization recommendations.

Automation simplifies the audit process by reducing manual effort, ensuring accuracy, and allowing IT teams to focus on high-priority vulnerabilities and compliance risks.

• After major changes to network infrastructure, such as new firewalls, routers, or access points.
• When preparing for compliance audits under HIPAA, PCI-DSS, GDPR etc.
• Following security incidents or potential data breaches that may have affected network health.
• On a regular schedule as part of proactive cybersecurity and risk management practices.
• When adding new providers, endpoints, or operating systems to ensure consistent configuration and functionality.

Regular audits allow IT teams to optimize network performance, reduce downtime, and maintain continuous compliance with evolving regulatory requirements.

A compliance audit verifies that an organization’s IT infrastructure, processes, and data management practices align with applicable regulatory compliance standards. It evaluates security policies, access controls, change management, and incident response capabilities to confirm that sensitive data is protected and risks are mitigated.

Compliance audits are commonly performed by external auditors or internal IT security teams and result in formal audit reports detailing areas of non-compliance, remediation needs, and ongoing monitoring requirements.

• Conduct regular network audits to identify vulnerabilities and confirm compliance with industry standards.
• Automate auditing workflows to streamline reporting, remediation, and documentation.
• Implement strong access controls and permissions to prevent unauthorized access to sensitive information.
• Validate firewall configurations and security policies across the entire network infrastructure.
• Use network auditing tools to monitor network traffic and detect security threats in real time.
• Maintain detailed audit checklists, templates, and reports to support transparency and compliance with frameworks like NIST, ISO 27001, and HIPAA.

Tufin enables continuous audit readiness by automating policy validation, reducing manual effort, and providing visibility into every aspect of network security and compliance.
