ECM makes the most valuable configuration information visible, prioritizing the state of system compliance to be instantly available for even the highest level executives via the Internet.

ECM 4.8.7 delivers on our vision to institutionalize organizational compliance as a sustainable, repeatable continuous process, not just a reaction to the latest worm, threat or legislation. In doing so, it creates an essential link between Security and Operations by providing the heterogeneous enterprise visibility and automated enforcement necessary to assure compliance of regulatory mandates, security guidelines and operational policies over time.

ECM uniquely embraces a new generation of cutting edge technologies through the following enhanced features:

• Enterprise-wide compliance transparency – Compliance Dashboards provide unified, consistent reporting up and down the IT management team for regulatory mandates and industry best practices.

  • Windows: NT, 2000, XP and 2003;
  • UNIX: AIX, HP-UX, Solaris;
  • Linux: RedHat. This version also supports 64-bit Windows technologies.
• Industry leading, cross platform compliance toolkits – Developed by Configuresoft's CP&C, ECM delivers out-of-the-box compliance knowledge for SOX, HIPAA, GLBA, FISMA, DISA, PCI DSS and Microsoft Security Hardening Guides.
• Web-based compliance management - Centralized management, rationalization and compliance of UNIX/ LINUX configurations, applications, and administrative scripts occur through ECM’s Web-based console.
