A reliable permission analysis increases IT security
Docusnap automatically performs permission analyses for Windows file systems, Microsoft Exchange and Microsoft SharePoint.
Why do you need a reliable permission analysis?
Various legal regulations, data protection, mandatory security standards and company certifications always require IT managers to precisely log and control the permissions assigned in a network (e.g. Windows permissions, network permissions, NTFS permissions, share permissions, file server permissions, mailbox permissions, public folder permissions, SharePoint permissions). Key keywords are BSI basic protection, ISO 27001 certification and, of course, the extensive data protection requirements. The complexity and amount of information that needs to be taken into account and processed for correct IT documentation is as enormous as it is variable. However, managers, data protection officers and IT administrators need meaningful and up-to-date reports on the effective permission situation in the company network at all times.
How can Docusnap help you?
Docusnap is the ideal software solution to meet these requirements. The software automatically creates permission analyses for Windows file systems, Microsoft Exchange and Microsoft SharePoint. In the case of Windows file systems, all systems that work on the basis of shares and NTFS file systems are supported. Microsoft Windows-compatible file systems (e.g. NetApp, EMC Isilon, Samba) are also supported by the permission analysis function based on CIFS or SMB. The permission configured for Microsoft Exchange environments and the Active Directory are also inventoried and documented. The basis for the use of the permission analysis function is the automated IT inventory of the network by Docusnap. Docusnap stores the data recorded in the inventory in a Configuration Management Database (CMDB). The permission analysis accesses the data stored in the Docusnap CMDB and creates the necessary evaluations for the effective network permissions in a clear form for the user.

Visualize the origin of permissions
Groups and their nesting play an important role in network permissions. Docusnap visualizes these nestings - an export to Microsoft Visio, for example, is also possible at any time. By applying filters in Docusnap, questions about the origin of permissions can be easily answered in an interactive analysis.
If the analysis shows that individual permissions have been assigned incorrectly, Docusnap provides a visualization of the permission origin. The user can immediately identify, for example, the group through which the incorrect permission was assigned and then correct its configuration.
