About SecurityExpressions Audit & Compliance Server

SecurityExpressions Audit & Compliance Server is a Web-based application that runs on a server with Microsoft IIS and an ASP.NET infrastructure installed. From a Web browser on any computer, you can securely perform most audit and compliance functions, such as audit scheduling, reporting, and browsing audit results. The server automatically updates time- sensitive audit policies such as patch, antivirus, and vulnerabilities. The Web pages interact with a central database and a service that performs the auditing.

The server offers three ways to audit:

Self-service audits

Audit-on-Connect

Audit-on-Schedule
