NHI Compliance

Ensure NHI Compliance Readiness

Compliance frameworks like PCI DSS and NIST are focusing on NHIs, adding complexity to audits. Astrix enables InfoSec to easily meet GRC requirements through continuous NHI visibility, audit trails, reporting, and monitoring.

According to a CSA report

50%

of organizations have potentially experienced an NHI security incident.

38%

of organizations report no or low visibility into third-party vendors connected by OAuth apps

Why compliance programs struggle with NHIs

Dark blue circuit board design symbolizes Atrix's lead in NHI security, with key and robot motifs on delicate lines.

No visibility or ownership

Compliance programs lack mechanisms to map, monitor, and assign ownership for NHIs like API keys and service accounts, making it impossible to control compliance and risk.

Lack of audit trails

Without consolidated, consistent monitoring of NHI activity, compliance teams struggle to produce evidence during audits, making audit readiness a fire drill.

Compliance evolves; existing tools don’t

Regulations increasingly require organizations to demonstrate governance for all identities, but existing tools struggle to extend compliance frameworks to NHIs.

Reduce audit headaches and ensure NHI compliance

Policy deviation

Ensure continuous compliance

Security frameworks and regulations constantly evolve. Astrix continuously maps and updates your compliance posture to frameworks like PCI DSS, NIST, and OWASP NHI Top 10.

NHI ownership

Enforce accountability & policy adherence

NHIs need clear owners and policies to remain compliant. Automate attestation workflows, enforce key management compliance, and ensure NHIs follow access, rotation, and usage policies.

Remediate without breaking anything

Simplify audits & reporting

Maintain detailed audit trails, monitor for violations, and generate audit-ready reports with the insights stakeholders need – no manual digging required.

How it’s done

Assessment & framework alignment

Inventory, risk & compliance status

Continuously inventory service accounts, secrets, OAuth apps, IAM roles, API keys, and other NHIs. Understand risk and compliance status through customizable dashboards and context about services and resources an NHI can access, its permissions, usage, and third-party vendors.

Detailed audit trails

Maintain logs of NHI lifecycle events, access permissions, and anomalous behavior to ensure audit readiness and swift responses to regulatory scrutiny.

Continuous monitoring & alerts

Monitor NHI activities to identify potential non-compliance issues. Receive alerts or trigger remediation workflows for unusual behavior or policy violations.

Framework alignment

Automatically map NHI risk to industry frameworks like NIST and OWASP NHI Top 10. Continuously assess and update compliance posture across environments.

Ownership & policy enforcement

NHI ownership

Assign and attest ownership of NHIs to their human owner, users, and third-party vendors, streamlining accountability and remediation processes.

Apply policy-based attestation

Ensure NHIs comply with corporate policies through automated workflows that evaluate permissions, usage, and risks.

Key management compliance

Enforce secure storage and timely rotation of API keys, secrets, and other credentials. Monitor and control access to vaults to prevent unauthorized usage.

Reporting & integrations

Compliance-ready reporting

Generate audit-ready reports tailored to frameworks such as PCI DSS, SOX, ISO and OWASP NHI Top 10. Provide stakeholders with key insights into NHI access, permissions, and activity.

Enterprise integrations

Seamlessly integrate with ITSM, GRC and ticketing platforms to enrich compliance workflows and automate ticket creation and notifications for compliance violations.
