Argos Audit Defence: In this video Danny Begg, SAM technical specialist at Argos, shares his approach to defending and managing software audit requests.
Danny also makes the case for more collaboration and networking amongst ITAM industry peers to share more information about software audits.
Through sharing intel and collaboration organizations can reduce their risk of non-compliance and increase their maturity. Kudos to Danny for sharing his approaches. If you would like to share your approach to ITAM with the ITAM Review community please consider our 2017 call for speakers to drop us a line to discuss options.
Danny covers the four major components to his audit management process: pre-audit, initiation, audit defence and negotiation. Let us know how this compares to your approach to managing audits.
