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).
