Open-AudIT Feature
Policy & Compliance Management.
Open‑AudIT’s Policy & Compliance feature enables enterprises to track software packages, hardware settings, and configuration changes across their network. By monitoring packages and configurations, IT teams can see what is installed, what has changed, and whether devices remain compliant with core security and compliance policies. These include widely adopted frameworks such as the Australian Cyber Security Centre’s Essential Eight, the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF), and ISO/IEC 27001.

Using packages and compliance checks, Open‑AudIT provides visibility into installed software, hardware settings, and policy adherence. Teams can track every change, generate audit‑ready reports, and validate alignment with global compliance standards. Organizations can benchmark their posture against standards like Essential Eight, NIST CSF, and ISO 27001 to ensure consistent adherence across geographies.
- Track changes. Monitor package installations, removals, and configuration updates across all devices.
- Policy visibility. Map devices and settings against compliance frameworks and benchmark against Essential Eight, NIST CSF, and ISO 27001 to identify gaps.
- Audit readiness. Generate reports that prove adherence to internal policies and external standards.
Policy & Compliance helps IT and security teams manage risk by surfacing non‑compliance, providing historical change data, and simplifying the process of demonstrating compliance to auditors and stakeholders. By integrating benchmarks for Essential Eight, NIST CSF, and ISO 27001, Open‑AudIT makes it easier to show compliance with both regional and international standards.

“Open‑AudIT’s Policy & Compliance feature turns raw inventory into actionable compliance data. It gives teams the confidence that their networks meet internal policies and global standards.”
