IT Audit Solution:
Stealth Audit
Security Audits
Identify software requiring updates - Get e-Reports on the software, currently in use at your business, which requires updating or patching to correct a security issue.
Trojan software - Get e-Reports on hidden or “Trojan” software that is currently running on your computers.
SpyWare - Get e-Reports on SpyWare that is installed on your computers. Spyware captures information about the user and/or their computer and then transmits it back through internet. It has been found in programs such as Mattel Interactive's Reader Rabbit and Arthur's Reading Games, Intuit Inc.'s financial planner Quicken, and dozens of other packages.
Software Audits
Lower software costs - Get e-Reports with up-to-date software license information so that you need only pay for upgrades, support or maintenance for the software you actually use.
Avoid software license fines - Get e-Reports with indicating unlicensed software to avoid unforeseen costs like PCR Services Corp., an environmental planning and consulting company headquartered in Santa Monica, CA, which paid $120,000 to the Business Software Alliance after a self-audit revealed more copies of Microsoft software programs on its computers than it had licenses to support.
Hardware Audits
Save on computer upgrades - With accurate, up-to-date e-Reports about the hardware found in your computers, you can accurately itemize and cost out hardware upgrades.
Lower service contract costs - With accurate, up-to-date e-Reports about your computers, you can efficiently cancel unnecessary maintenance and service contracts.
Moving to a new operating system or software package is easier - With accurate, up-to-date e-Reports about the hardware found in your computers, you can accurately itemize and cost out hardware upgrades required to run your new software.
Avoid paying out hardware leases - Get e-Reports or e-Notifications on missing or modified equipment to reduce the cost of returning hardware on lease or hardware being stolen.
Application Audits
Track Enterprise Applications – Many corporations today are developing enterprise applications using software ranging from Microsoft Access to Oracle. Stealth Audit can be configured to track these enterprise applications.
Identify users of Enterprise developed applications – With Stealth Audit configured to collect information about your enterprise applications, it becomes very easy to track who is using them, what version they have, etc.
Locate applications developed in Microsoft Access, PowerBuilder, Java and many more languages – Though most software inventory programs will identify the package the application was developed in, such as Oracle Forms,
they do not provide information about applications developed with them.
