A Little House Keeping
Farm Audit App
The AppArchers’ SharePoint Farm Audit records all changes to your SharePoint Farm environment and is your ultimate change management tool allowing you to quickly locate and correct faults introduced into your systems. The reports can be set to be run based on your schedule (ie: every half day), capturing architectural changes that are not operational.
A SharePoint upgrade initiative is also always a good time to do some house keeping and the SharePoint 2007 to 2010 upgrade is no exception to this rule.
Cleaning up a SharePoint environment typically goes beyond just deleting the obsolete content and should include a thorough security audit to make sure that no user gets unnecessary privileges on SharePoint content.
Overtime, for example, it is easy for site administrators to grant temporary high privileges to certain users and then simply forget to remove them. From the perspective of SharePoint farm administrators, generating reports of all the security permissions on all sites in their farm(s) can easily become a long and boring task.
The AppArchers’ SharePoint Farm Audit is a comprehensive solution that captures and records all audit events, manages the audit data captured in a central repository and provides comprehensive reporting and analytics regarding who is doing what, when and where in a SharePoint environment.
Our proprietary app is a command-line program that generates a report listing for each site and the permissions assigned to Active Directory users and groups, either directly or through a SharePoint group. Further, the AppArchers’ Farm Audit provides an overall SharePoint security and compliance solution and enables administrators to simplify audit administration, automatically turning on auditing for new SharePoint site collections and configuring specialized auditing at the web application or site collection level.
Leveraging proven technology, it collects the data needed to comply with regulations and data security requirements such as Sarbanes Oxley (SOX) and HIPAA. The enterprise manager then ensures security standards are properly applied in SharePoint by remediating potential security or compliance issues.
