Success Story Overview PT. Astra Daihatsu Motor (Daihatsu) is a subsidiary of PT. Astra International, Tbk., which was formed by the merger of Daihatsu Indonesia, Daihatsu Engine Manufacturing Industry and National Astra Motor. Daihatsu was established in 1973 to manufacture Daihatsu-branded vehicles such as Zebra, Taft, Taruna, YRV and Ceria. Challenge As with many companies looking to become more compliant, Daihatsu recognized the need to step up its approach to improve accountability and meet Sarbanes-Oxley requirements. To establish and maintain internal controls, Daihatsu wanted to imple- ment a solid approach to security information and event management. This would involve integrating a log monitoring system and vul- nerability assessments into Daihatsus IT internal control systems to maintain audit trails and log alterations of electronic records. Previously, Daihatsus IT staff had a manual process for inventory and asset manage- ment, requiring them to travel regularly to each of the companys five locations. Tracking software usage on its workstations and laptops was also a challenge, and the staff had concerns about its ability to maintain security and ensure compliance with licensing agreements. Better insight into hardware and software usage throughout the company would allow the company to efficiently manage its assets.
