FireMon, a leading provider of centralized firewall management, has played an instrumental role in empowering Convey Health Solutions to achieve and maintain HITRUST CSF certification and PCI DSS compliance amidst a demanding audit schedule. Housing over 40 decentralized firewalls, Convey Health was navigating labor-intensive and error-prone manual processes. The need for a comprehensive, flexible, and efficient regulatory compliance and risk management solution led them to FireMon’s Network Security Policy Management (NSPM) offering.

NSPM offered a host of advanced features like centralized firewall management, real-time visibility, and highly customizable reports. FireMon exceled in providing unified policy visibility and management, along with out-of-the-box and customizable compliance assessments. Automated rule documentation and reporting, rule review and recertification workflows, and automated real-time checks across 350+ custom controls and regulatory standards streamlined Convey’s compliance efforts.

With FireMon, Convey Health not only achieved continuous compliance but eliminated time-consuming and error-prone manual processes. FireMon’s solution offered real-time network behavior and traffic flow analyses, which further allowed Convey’s team to reduce risk by identifying and removing redundant, overlapping, or unused rules. With the ability to deploy rules directly to devices with one click, FireMon simplified and expedited the whole process.

As a result, Convey Health Solutions effectively reduced the time to produce accurate compliance reports by 66%, identified and removed over 150 redundant rules, and most importantly, achieved 100% PCI DSS compliance. Patrick Stoehr, Manager of Data Network Services, remarked on FireMon’s instrumental role, “With FireMon tracking compliance for us, we were able to shrink our overall audit time by two-thirds of our original schedule. Additionally, we were able to clean and push out almost 300 rules that had not been reviewed in over three years.”
