Beyond threat detection, a SIEM system is also useful for compliance monitoring and auditing. Many regulations and standards (such as the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard [PCI DSS], the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act [HIPAA], the General Data Protection Regulation [GDPR], and International Organization for Standardization [ISO] 27001) mandate that organizations log certain security-related events and preserve audit trails of system activity. OpenSearch helps organizations meet these requirements by centrally collecting and retaining required logs and by providing tools for reviewing and reporting on those logs for compliance purposes.

Using OpenSearch, an organization can aggregate all of its audit logs into one place.

### <u>Real-Time Compliance Alerting.</u>

Compliance monitoring isn’t just about historical audits. It also requires continuous monitoring to ensure violations or suspicious activities are caught early. OpenSearch detectors and rules can be written not only for security threats but also for compliance policies. For instance, a user could create a rule to alert if any database containing customer data is accessed outside of business hours.
