Subject: Canned audits
Hi All,
We have had many audits in the past by 3 party vendors. My company is finally
interested in performing some of these audits in house and a little more
frequently than the annual 3rd party audits.
My question is, is there a software package, a "canned" audit that can be
performed? Basic info gathering questions regarding authentication controls,
network documentation(how and where it is stored), question that should be
asked regarding wireless AP and other basic security questions?
