Today, "compliance" is as important to an organization as its business is! With the advent of regulatory acts like SOX and HIPAA, an organization's compliance requirements have undergone a radical change. It is no longer about a perfunctory maintenance of company's financial records for a cursory audit, but an elaborate record of day-to-day activities for periods recommended by the regulatory act; never miss any information that constitutes financial data and leave no room for data manipulation is the motto of these regulatory acts. Though this enhances security, the sheer complexity of the process is enervating, especially with no comprehensive reporting system in the native Windows or Active Directory, the beehive of all organization's activities. These days it has become near impossible to meet compliance requirements without the help of a compliance software!

The reporting system of ADManager Plus is an effective compliance software in itself, addressing all the issues of compliance management. It solves this problem conveniently by delving into the core of the native Windows and Active Directory to fetch all the required data for audit compliance. What is more, these data are presented in a user-friendly format with plenty of filters to view the desired segments of information. Any piece of information, which is required to meet regulatory compliance such as HIPAA compliance or SOX (Sarbanes Oxley) compliance, can be extracted conveniently.

Following are the various types of reports provided by ADManager Plus.

. The report provides information about all the users/groups that have access to specified subnets.
. Not just a list of access permissions, but a complete report about the extent of those permissions is provided.
. Using these, administrators can secure subnets from unwanted access or control a user's access to it.

AD Objects accessible by Accounts Report

Administrators need to monitor every access privilege of the accounts. This includes the access on all the objects in the active directory. These reports provide all the AD objects that are accessible by the selected accounts. The report can be filtered based on the access type ie: any control or full control.The permissions also include account's level of access on the AD objects.

Non-inheritable Objects Report

Security of the AD objects is very essential for administrators and special attention should be paid so that it does not get compromised through features like inheritance of permissions. By displaying the complete list of non-inheritable objects (in a selected domain), this report makes it easy for administrators to ensure critical objects does not possess inheritable permissions.
