Congruity Inspector's design incorporates an integrated, multi-tiered software architecture based on our unique deep-packet inspection device driver, integrated database and XML-web server for report presentation and forensic review. It also features a unique automated report writer that compiles all the Network Quality Assurance findings and presents them in an Adobe .pdf executive report format. Congruity Inspector also incorporates an integrated content dictionary to profile communications in HTML, Email and file attachments. It does not collect system logs from other devices. It collects data directly from the network (wire) providing independent verification of systems, controls, policies and usage.
