Configuration Inventory Analysis and Compliance Reporting

The initial step in effectively managing configuration integrity across your enterprise requires having and up-to-date inventory of all systems and applications and how they are configured. Disparate configuration management point-solutions already in place make it nearly impossible to obtain a consolidated view of your enterprise configurations without application integration or the overhead of yet another complex framework.   IT organizations are being required to meet ever increasing standards related to governance, risk and compliance – whether those standards come from government regulators, an industry group, a governance board, best practices set by platform vendors or internal company policies.  Dynamic business demands require these solutions to be delivered quickly, cost effectively and to a broader audience. ConfigWise is your solution.

ConfigWise Benefits:

• Gain enterprise configuration visibility to support informed decision making by maintaining a central configuration repository, including applications, configuration settings, files, registry settings, Group Policy Objects and more; leverage existing data sources, including Microsoft Configuration Manager, third-party applications and databases, as well as ConfigWise collection for Windows®, Hyper-V, Linux, VMware and network devices
• Obtain a single view of enterprise configuration compliance, with historical reporting and compliance trends over time; view top “non-compliant” policies, systems and applications at a glance and then drill down directly to non-compliant configuration items
• Ensure proactive policy compliance by regularly assessing your physical and virtual infrastructure according to regulatory, security or corporate standards; leverage industry expertise and best practices with out-of-the-box templates, including Microsoft Security Compliance Manager and SCAP baselines
• Satisfy SLA reporting requirements and minimize the risk of unknown configuration changes across your enterprise with proactive compliance assessment against baselines, including identification of prohibited applications; patent-pending wild-card discovery capabilities allow you to easily detect when new processes and applications are found on target systems, even if not defined within a policy
• Increase IT efficiency by enabling easy authoring of desired configuration policies that capture and adhere to corporate policies, vendor-provided guidelines and industry standards (including Sarbanes-Oxley, PCI DSS, HIPAA and more)
• Centrally track and report on hardware and software assets over time, including both Microsoft and non-Microsoft  systems and applications
