Compliance Audit?

If you are looking to assess the security of your virtual infrastructure as well as audit your VMware infrastructure for compliance reasons, what current options are available?

Well you can start by looking at the VMware security hardening guidelines document available at this link which is a good document and can be complimented by other documents such as those from CIS and DISA.  However the information contained in these documents has to be manually applied to your infrastructure which is all well and good if you only have a couple of Virtual machines and one ESX host but when you have 20 + machines to check then this process quickly becomes very time consuming and unrealistic.

So whats the answer?

Well there is a a comprehensive tool available called VMinformer that can do the job for you and will very rapidly check your entire Virtual Infrastructure in a matter of minutes against known industry best practices such as the ones mentioned above.

Reporting

The tool provides reports that can be handed over to your auditors or used in your own reports to meet PCI or similar industry compliance regulations.
