Policy Minder

Introduction

Policy Minder is a policy management tool that aides in security compliance. You will find tremendous time savings can be achieved as it will no longer be necessary for you to manually run reports and queries to try to prove compliance to your auditor. By simply running one command you will quickly know if your system's configuration is in compliance with your policy, and, if not, you can fix it - fast.

The level of detail covered by Policy Minder is impressive!

Policy Minder can also help you determine whether processes and procedures are being followed. By checking security compliance on a regular basis, it is easy to tell, for example, when developers are bypassing change management processes or user profiles are being created with incorrect levels of authority.

Security compliance is not a "one-off" job that can be forgotten about once you have achieved compliance. It needs to be constantly monitored and maintained to ensure you remain compliant.
