If you an AUDITOR tasked
with performing a Software
Inventory and Compliance Audit,
one of the key hurdles most organisations face is the
bandwidth degradation that occurs when auditing their PCs to establish what is
installed.
Another hurdle they face relates to the number of “false positives” that can occur when using library or software recognition files to match inventory data collected.
For these reasons many audit tools are turned
off or the audits are never completed, introducing un-acceptable risk. This is
NOT the way to protect your organisation from being caught with illegal
software! Our bold claim is that, in the time that it takes you to read this page, you could have audited the entire server connected PC population in your organisation with the script approach to AUDIT Baseline and gathered enough data to allow you to commence the next stage. BE SURPRISED AT HOW FAST IT CREATES ACCURATE SOFTWARE INVENTORY RECORDS! AUDIT Baseline version 4 (previously known as AUDIT-Server it's been around since 1995 and was used extensively during Year 2000 remediation work for software inventory) as a very fast Australian designed software compliance audit tool that is targeted at the government and private sector population with large PC counts connected by servers. AUDIT
Baseline version 4
software allows you to create a “baseline software and hardware inventory
record” for each PC in a very short time frame, without any database of named
applications. The software has simple design features that enable rapid
deployment and ease of use across an organization and it’s only 72K in size! Benchmark test results for
AUDIT Baseline version 4 when run
“silent” as a command–line driven script are recording audit results of around
15 seconds for the audit per PC with a 91%
“detection to naming ratio” without any inbuilt database on current Windows
software platforms and NO degradation of server bandwidth during the audit
process. Some sites have even used this software to TEST the accuracy of their existing audit solutions to ensure they reduce their risk! SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS The software will run on Win 98 (Fat 32); Win NT (NTFS/FAT 32); Windows 2000 (NTFS/FAT 32) and Win XP/ Win XPPro machines (NTFS/FAT 32) Older Windows 95/98 FAT 16 systems are unsupported and will not work with this software. Allow 700K for the un-encrypted 2 audit files (CSV/.RTF) for each node. “This
software audit tool provides a value for money approach to server based auditing
of PCs without the penalty of bandwidth choke and server degradation or
delivering false positive results that require detailed manual investigation.
“- Rob
Harmer General Manager, PCProfile. “As an Australian designed and developed software audit and compliance tool, it competes more than favourably with a price point around 1/20th to 1/50th of the price of other server based auditing tools, many of which are switched off anyway due to consumption of server resources” - Rob Harmer General Manager, PCProfile. The
executable file “AuditBaseline.exe” (72k
in size)
is the “engine room audit tool” that will very rapidly identify, node by
node, the executable files located on ALL hard drives on the node (server
connected drives are ignored) and create only 2 un-encrypted audit files per PC
(node) that can be saved in a number of locations depending on default mode
auditing or command line switch settings.
It does NOT require any inbuilt database or library of file names to identify
what is installed.
The audit can be run OPEN (ie; visible to the user as a Windows dialog, or; “SILENT” as an “unannounced’ task using command line scripts from a DOS prompt or server prompt. In this case the Windows dialog screen WILL NOT appear at the PC level. The audit will take approximately between 15 and 30 seconds per PC (node)
depending on the number of executable files encountered. For around 2,000
executables, on a Windows XPPro PC it will take around 15 seconds. (Total RAM on
this XPPro PC was 1MB with 644MB available memory. Lower sized RAM structures
make take a little longer. The server based "command line arguments" from Start/Run or a Windows DOS prompt are included in the download file at this page. The software will also work
from floppy for those PCs' not networked! In terms of bandwidth
consumption the task is low as the audit runs using local RAM and then sends the
CSV/TXT files back to the server so there is no intense auditing over the
network by our software. The Australian based
AUDIT–Baseline software audit tool is being marketed by PCProfile worldwide
and has been developed by Secrett Systems. BENEFITS FOR YOUR ORGANIZATION The value this audit method gives your organisation
is that -
The
audit results files contain “no false positive results”.
The "naming to detection ratio" on a range of XPPro
machines is ~ 91%. The ~ 9% unnamed are purely due to the vendors NOT including
sufficient (or any) details within their software build details, yet most are
identifiable by their folder names so this ought not be an issue. They are
generally accessory type files associated with the main application package. The
fault with being unable to detect these names lies directly with the vendors and
not with our software! Audit Baseline software is available for shipping via e-mail TODAY and can allow you to conduct a total enterprise audit before you leave the building TODAY of all connected PCs on your system, without any degradation in service, or bandwidth consumption hogging that other tools offer. In
the time that it has taken you to read this page you could have audited the
entire server connected PC population in your organisation with the script
approach to AUDIT Baseline! The
electronic data inventory a very small portion of the overall task needed to
prove compliance as you need to match installed versions to license ownership! WHAT YOU GET FOR YOUR MONEY The
file that we include with the software license is zipped and is to be manually
copied to a new folder that you create called
c:\Programs\Audit_Baseline or
p:\Programs\Audit_Baseline if server based where p” is the application server.
The software will also run from a floppy disk should you wish to audit
PCs that are NOT connected to a server and the license permits this method of
use also.
There is no maintenance required as it
works on your existing Windows XP, NT and Win 2000 operating systems and doesn't
require any signature files or database libraries like anti-virus software etc.
The Outlook Task
Template is provided free of charge with sample wording that can be modified to
suit your own organisational language style. Our
audit software won’t blow your budget we can assure you! If
you aren’t yet convinced, compare the results files that we deliver (in
unencrypted format so you can use them as you please) with the results files
from your existing audit tools and then contact us further. It
might also make the difference in satisfying a software compliance audit when
you can clearly demonstrate that ALL audits have been conducted with accurate
results across the whole organisation!
