Configuration Audit
Configuresoft solutions automate configuration auditing by detecting planned and unplanned changes and correlating them with authorized change requests. Enterprise Configuration Manager (ECM) discovers the configuration of servers and workstations and will track changes to the configuration as they happen. The discovered configuration is checked against recommended guidelines from NIST, CIS, PCI, SOX, HIPAA and many more regulatory and industry standards.
Configuresoft solution helps change mangers to report on operational changes, and reconciliation. Change managers can use this functionality to prevent configuration drift due to unplanned changes. ECM helps system administrators to maintain operational configuration standards. Security and compliance officers will be able to enforce hardening standards and automate audit trail to meet internal and external auditors to meet regulatory requirements.
