ABSTRACT:
Regardless of how a software audit is initiated, the process is rarely anticipated and often results in valuable resource loss. Beyond the resource strain, software audits require additional expenses to deploy asset management services to prevent future compliance breaches. This paper presents a risk assessment survey to help determine if your organization can adhere to a software compliance audit and what level of risk it faces.
Read this paper to learn six steps for enabling software management and how your organization can ensure it has the documentation to withstand an audit, including:
- Review existing software licensing agreements
- Take an inventory of existing IT assets
- Compare inventory to purchasing records to determine problematic areas
- Uninstall noncompliant software
- Implement management policies for use and license compliance
- Maintain new standards and processes
