SekChek for Internal Auditors and IT Security Policy Champions measures the progress of IT Security Policy Implementations. This automated computer security analysis tool/service can compare host system / domain security control settings against an organization's benchmark of desired Security Standards. Intended mainly for companies with many systems in multiple locations (departments, regions or countries), SekChek provides graphical reports showing how well security controls across the various systems meet or deviate from the benchmarked standards. Ideal for companies wishing to transition "ownership" of computer security from IT Security technicians to system Owners (User Management). Originally developed in 1997, SekChek is designed, and continually enhanced, to analyze security settings of all major (non-mainframe) operating systems and platforms, including all versions of Windows, Unix, Netware and AS/400. Sample reports can be downloaded from SekChek Information Protection Services at www.sekchek.com
