Consultants play a CRITICAL part in reducing
risk!
Consultants who work in this field understand, that for their customer, what software is installed vs what is legally
licensed is a critical piece of information that the customer in most
cases has NO IDEA about, along with where it
is located, and how it needs to be protected as an asset of the
clients business.
The variety of Windows based
platforms, users, and connections, in conjunction with the speed of
new releases, along with the vast amount of pirated software feely
available for very low fees (or zero $) on the market, means that it is more difficult than ever
for you to perform all the
needed tasks with limited organizational resources. In fact many businesses either have no
idea they should be conducting software compliance audits (until it is
too late) or they start the task and never get it finished, hence they
are at substantial risk.
Gain "a level of
comfort" about software compliance!
To ensure that you stay in control,
having a consultant undertake a software compliance desktop and server audit can provide
you with a high level of comfort about how compliant you might be in the
event of a "raid by the anti-piracy police". It may assist you
to weed out areas that are non-compliant and set in place policies
that will minimize the risk of future non-compliance!
Specialist services you can expect to
have offered
Consultants in this area provide a range of specialist
software compliance audit services, conducting software audits,
providing a summary of what has been installed so that you, as the
client, can match this with "proof of purchase" records
which are the vital last step in the process.
Other services consultants can offer cover setting up asset registers and software compliance
policies and procedures to ensure the task continues on past the initial
audit as well, as looking at the total license population to ensure that
you are not overpaying for licenses no longer required etc.
If you an AUDITOR tasked
with performing a Software Compliance Audit, you need to read this!
How are you going to
gather the electronic inventory that you need to verify what is
