Enterprise Permission Reporter 3.0
Welcome to our NTFS permissions reporting solution. EPR will assist you to meet all challenges you may face regarding regulatory compliances such as HIPAA, FDA, PCI or SOX.
EPR lets you control, document and review all your file system permissions with ease.
Since the year 2002 we do consulting in security affairs, including NTFS permissions, change management and directory redesign projects. Driven by our customers and our experiences we build the first permission reporter back in 2008. Now in 2012, we want to present you the third major release of this product.
Why would I need EPR?
• If a user leaves your company, only every third will loose all the permissions
• Permissions have the most direct impact to your users
• Near half of all helpdesk calls regard the request of permissions
• Auditing: You need to report permissions, even for dates long ago
• Auditing: You need to report changes of permissions
EPR does all of that, and much more.
Here are some of the most important Features EPR offers you:
- Automatically report permission changes via email directly to the data owner
- Change management: Keep track of changes, all the time
- Dive deep permissions: EPR will not just stop when reading the permissions. It will resolve any group members, even sub-groups, and sub-groups, until there are only users
- Role-Based views
- EPR offers 3 pre-filtered views per Report, one for each of the most common roles
- Functional Application Manager
- This view will show only End-Users. All groups will be resolved, but groups themselves will not show up.
- System Manager
- This view will show only Direct Assignments. All entries found in folders ACL will be shown, but nothing resolved from AD.
- Technical Application Manager
- This view will show everything. All groups and users will be resolved and displayed in the most detail.
- Functional Application Manager
- EPR offers 3 pre-filtered views per Report, one for each of the most common roles
