Software Compliance Audit News AuditNet® Exclusive Article by Rob Harmer Software Compliance Audit Policy is a MUST HAVE! Software license compliance is an issue that doesn’t get enough focus in most organizations or in the press. The press tends to focus on the guilty party flaunting the announcements of court fines and penalties when in fact the issue needs a wider focus! Software vendors have become fed up with the piracy of software by organizations and individuals and have started to aggressively seek out those who steal their software. If you have been reading the press recently you will have seen many cases of organizations being fined 5 to 6 figure sums as court costs which is conservatively around 1/4th to 1/5th of the total costs involved! To protect yourself and your organization what is needed to START with is, a robust software compliance policy coupled with a management strategy to get the message to the desktop. Organizations can significantly reduce their exposure to software piracy liability if they have a robust and proven software compliance policy which is adopted and enforced throughout the organization!
