Audit a system for security compliance.
PCAT is an extremely powerful tool which audits a system for security compliance requirements (based on industry standards), offers a snapshot of key system information, as well as generates reports. It quickly scans the system and visually represents what it finds in a friendly tabulated format offering you the ability to correct non-compliant findings in bulk or one-by-one, leaving the power in your hands to set the required settings to maintain functionality while obtaining the highest level of security compliance.Try PCAT_TRIAL, we are confident you will be pleasantly surprised at how simple core security can be.We hope you enjoy PCAT as much as we enjoy computer security and compliance.PCAT: HOME KEY FEATURES-Insight to hundreds of well-known settings that, when set to industry best practices, mitigate possible avenues for a digital intruder (MALICIOUS HACKER) to exploit-Automated ability to set required settings;-Automated system restore-point generation;-Reporting function includes: system information, account information, hot fixes, installed software, and security settings in one functional file.PCAT:SMALL BUSINESS(SB) AND CORPORATE(C) KEY FEATURESCompliance ChecksThere are hundreds of compliance checks offered within PCAT:SB and C versions, spanning many well-known Compliance/Security standards (PCI DSS, HIPAA, STIG, to name a few). Within the PCAT interface you can easily select which compliance standard is referenced against the current system scan, as well as view them in combinations or all if needed, saving valuable time.Automated "FIX" FunctionIf compliance checks return with a non-compliant status you have the ability to fix them all in one swoop, in groups, or individually if needed.Ability to "Roll-Back" settingsPrior to updating non-compliant checks, PCAT offers you the chance to create a snapshot of current settings prior to setting recommended values.PCAT:SB and C versions compile many system settings in one report; removing the need to open many windows, run many scripts, or purchase costly enterprise solutions that may not fully benefit the current requirement.
