Configuration Compliance
"nCircle helps us automate the information gathering process necessary to manage a large risk management program. It automates many of the audits for very time-consuming controls required to effectively manage
risk."
Rapid Return on Investment Through Automation
Ensuring that your systems are configured according to policy is critical to both compliance and security initiatives. But full visibility and control of all networked devices is a significant challenge, especially when networks and systems are constantly changing. Additionally, demonstrating that your systems are compliant can be a manual, time consuming project that's inefficient and potentially ineffective.
Legacy configuration compliance solutions have primarily been agent-based, which are difficult to deploy and maintain, and typically only support a few operating systems and devices. The deployment issues and costs related to installing agents broadly have hindered the deployment of automated configuration compliance beyond a few high-value systems. If broadly deployed, configuration compliance can reduce manual efforts and enable enterprises to realize significant audit cost savings. This can only be achieved through an agentless solution.
nCircle's configuration compliance solution helps enterprises:
- Assess the configuration for all devices on the enterprise network
- Audit configurations against internal policy or external best practice
- Monitor for ongoing compliance
- Agentlessly monitor designated files for changes
- Centralize reporting for monitoring and regulatory purposes
 | Finds all networked devices - Ports, protocols, services, applications, vulnerabilities, operating systems |
 | Groups devices by asset type - By platform, by regulation (i.e. PCI, SOX), etc. |
 | Compares collected info with benchmarks and reports compliance and deviations |
 | Collects configuration information for each host/device |
nCircle's configuration compliance solution delivers a rapid and significant return on investment for enterprises struggling to meet auditors' requests for detailed compliance reporting. nCircle's market-leading, agentless technology discovers all networked devices on enterprise networks and their associated operating systems, applications, vulnerabilities, and configurations, enabling unprecedented security risk and compliance visibility. The solution compares the configurations to the configured benchmarks and presents the results in a range of customizable reports, from technical reports designed for IT teams to compliance framework reports such as CobiT, SAS-70, or ISO 17799. nCircle's configuration compliance solution also monitors the integrity of designated files as required in the PCI Data Security Standard.
