Hi there. Let's say you were a computer consultant, and you were called in to review a small to mid-sized company's current technology environment. What I am looking for is a computer environment "checklist" or "report card" that can be used to help with the analysis. At a high level, it would include things to review like: Virus Protection/Anti-Virus Software, Spyware Protection, Server Connectivity and Security, Email, Website, Remote Access, Wireless Connectivity/Security, Printers, etc. At a better, more detailed level, maybe the checklist would have something like this: Step 12: Check the Anti-Virus Software Is it set to automatically receive the latest updates? Are the latest updates installed and verified Are virus scanning schedules set and are they working Anti-Virus cannot be turned off/is secured Has the Virus log files been reviewed? Have any viruses placed in quarantine for over 90 days been deleted? I believe that possibly techrepublic may have these listed, or I might suggest even on Microsoft's site, maybe even CIO.com? |

I work with "Eracent Enterprise Asset Management", a great tool that does complete audits of hardware and software on just about any environment. It tracks version numbers, RAM, CPU, hard drive space/used, and a host of other things. I heartily recommend it, as I use it to check compliance with 8,500 computers and I can do it at-a-glance. |

Thanks for the comment, maybe my question isn't clear enough. Yes, getting hardware/software audit is a piece of cake, there's lots of free or very cheap software that can do that. But, to my knowledge, an auditing tool cannot tell you things like whether "automatic virus updates" are set to on, when they have been last updated, when the subscription expires, how many viruses are in quarantine, if the Virus software is password protected, etc. |
