Our free Audit Test Automation Package, AuditTAP or ATAP for short, checks the system hardening status of your operating systems, web servers and applications.
What is the AuditTAP?
The AuditTAP modules check various standard products for the configuration of important and relevant security settings. The references that are audited against are fundamentally established and proven security standards – for example, the hardening recommendations and configuration specifications of:
-
- DISA (Defense Information Systems Agency)
- CIS (Center for Internet Security)
- BSI (German Federal Office for Information Security)
- ACSC (Australian Cyber Security Center)
- Vendor recommendations, e.g. from Microsoft
With AuditTAP you can quickly and easily create a simple and clear HTML-based documentation of your systems.
AuditTAP: Features
-
- Do your products comply with the latest security configuration recommendations?
- Is the documentation of your IT systems available?
- What is the compliance status of the settings?
Our AuditTAP reports answer these and other questions quickly and easily.
AuditTAP performs an automated system configuration audit by checking up to several hundred configuration settings, depending on the product. Among other things, it checks the algorithms and keys used, the location of log data, the use of TLS 1.2 (or higher), the services activated or existing, separate service accounts.
As a result of the system configuration check the Audit Test Automation Package generates a report in HTML format. In this report, you can see which settings comply with the recommendations and which do not. In addition, you will receive a so-called risk score.
Assess your risk better
With version 5.2. the AuditTAP report received the practical and clear Risk Score. This assesses the status of a system according to quantitative aspects and now also takes into account the criticality of settings.
What this means exactly and how to read the risk score correctly is explained in the article “AuditTAP: What important conclusions you can draw from compliance reports“.
Audits compliant to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
The AuditTAP also offers a Windows 10 GDPR report. In this report, hundreds of Windows 10 settings are checked for their data protection compliance.
