Velosecure is a security assessment tool for Windows that provides technologists and auditors with a cutting edge solution that can be used to assist with regulatory compliance (e.g., Sarbanes Oxley, HIPAA, GLBA?) and ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of critical business systems. Using the SocratesEngine, a proprietary decisional information method, our software safely and quickly analyzes the target computer to determine what applications are running, how the operating system was installed and configured, and its role in your business infrastructure. Based on its analysis, it then audits the machine's defenses using internal best practices (may be customized) and reports on only the security relevant information. The compliance module produces a report that provides a gap analysis of your target's security settings with those in the best practices. Velosecure empowers technologists to assess their computers' security and protect against hackers.
