How Secure is the Data?

How secure is the data that The Irish company Auditor gathers?


Images copied from the target PC to the scanning machine are encrypted and can only be viewed using the Auditor application. Reports generated by Auditor can be created in anonymous format, which avoids prejudice against any employee under investigation. Even the file owner can be aliased which means the reports can be circulated to a wider audience without prejudicing employees' privacy, human rights and innocence.


Can The Irish company Auditor be run on a standalone PC?


While Auditor has been designed primarily for scanning a company's network of computers, it is still possible to audit a standalone PC. Individual directories on a machine can be selected for scanning, as well as selecting shares across the network.


How are shares selected for scanning?


There are a number of ways to select shares for scanning:


o A list of target machines and network shares can be imported from a .csv file;


o Existing shares on networked machines can be selected from an explorer dialog window;


o Shares can be dynamically created on machines and automatically selected for scanning;


o The software can use Active Directory to help identify the machines to be scanned


What type of images will The Irish company Auditor detect?


Auditor will report any images deemed inappropriate based on a sensitivity level set by the person performing the scan. Three different levels are available: Low, Medium and High. Low will detect and report most inappropriate images whereas high will only report images with a very high probability of being inappropriate.


Can The Irish company Auditor scan Music files?


The Irish company Auditor scans for illicit images; it cannot scan for obscene words and phrases in MP3 or other music files. However, since copyright laws may be breached through reproducing and storing music on corporate computer assets, The Irish company Auditor has the capability to log the presence of any MP3 and other audio files on users' computers or corporate files servers for corporate auditing purposes.


Does The Irish company Auditor provide a reporting facility?


Auditor provides several reports:


o Anonymous Reports to protect employee identity;


o Summary Statistics of scan providing profile of all images on network;


o Detailed listings of all images found on the network;


o Top Ten Abusers Report. These reports can be exported into Word, Adobe Acrobat or


XML file formats.


Can Scans performed on multiple machines be merged into one report?


Several scans can be performed on multiple target machines or network shares. These scans can then be copied to one scanning machine and all reviewed images can be merged to form one report. This report contains details of all scans performed on the network using information integrated


seamlessly into one comprehensive report.
