The Network Base-line

Know your network...optimize your business

CobiT, ISO27001, ITIL and NIST represent standards-based processes for IT system management. In order to manage systems, controls and processes, it is important to have a consistent process for measuring how systems are being used and perform under operational conditions: the network base-line. When a new system or application is put into operation the base-line changes. Network user behavior also varies over time and has a direct impact. Congruity Inspector offers a consistent standards-based report process, conforming to industry best practices and standards, providing visibility into these mission-critical operational areas.
