Network Configuration Audit Tool
Stop guessing whether your network matches your golden config. ConnectMyAssets continuously audits every device configuration against your security policies and compliance standards, line by line, and tells you exactly what drifted, when, and how to fix it.
- ✓Line-by-line diff against your golden configuration
- ✓Policy rules: SSH v1 off, NTP enforced, no default credentials
- ✓Scheduled audits with full historical results
- ✓Automated remediation workflows and ITSM integration
- ✓Multi-vendor: Cisco, Juniper, Fortinet, Palo Alto, Aruba
- ✓Compliance reports for NIS2, DORA, ISO 27001, PCI-DSS
Config Drift Is Silent, Until It Becomes an Incident
Every network has it: the emergency change made at 2 AM that was never reverted, the vendor update that reset a security parameter, the junior engineer who copy-pasted the wrong config. Over time, the gap between what your network is supposed to look like and what it actually looks like widens. That gap is your attack surface, your compliance gap, and your incident waiting to happen. A network configuration audit tool closes it, systematically, continuously, and automatically. ConnectMyAssets compares what every device is actually running against what it should be running, flags every deviation, and drives remediation. It is not a once-a-year exercise; it is continuous verification.
Everything You Need to Audit Network Configurations at Scale
From golden config comparison to compliance reporting, the complete network config audit toolkit in one platform.
Golden Config Comparison
Upload or define your golden configuration baseline for each device role, access switch, core router, WAN firewall, VPN concentrator. ConnectMyAssets retrieves the running configuration of every managed device and performs a line-by-line diff against the golden template. Every missing line, every extra line, every modified value is flagged with its exact location in the configuration. You see precisely what changed, not just that something changed.
Policy-Based Auditing
Define audit rules in plain language that reflect your security and operational standards. Rules can check for the presence or absence of specific configuration lines, validate parameter values, and enforce naming conventions. Examples: "SSH version 1 must be disabled", "NTP must point to 10.0.0.1", "SNMP community string must not be 'public'", "Unused interfaces must be administratively shut". Rules are reusable across device types and can be grouped into policy sets per compliance framework.
Scheduled Audit Runs
Configure audit schedules at the frequency your compliance program requires, daily, weekly, or triggered by a change event. Every audit run is stored with a timestamp and full results so you can track compliance trends over time. Historical audit data lets you answer auditor questions like "when did this device last pass all security checks?" or "how many devices were non-compliant in Q3?". Audit results feed directly into your compliance dashboard.
Remediation Workflows
When an audit detects a deviation, ConnectMyAssets can automatically open a ticket in your ITSM, send an alert to your team channel, or, for approved rule sets, push a remediation configuration directly to the device. Each deviation is linked to the specific audit rule that triggered it, the affected device, and the recommended fix. Remediation actions are logged so you maintain a complete audit trail from detection to resolution.
Multi-Vendor Support
Audit configurations across your entire network regardless of vendor. ConnectMyAssets supports Cisco IOS, IOS-XE, IOS-XR, NX-OS, Juniper JunOS, Fortinet FortiOS, Palo Alto PAN-OS, Aruba AOS-CX, Check Point, F5, and many others. Vendor-specific configuration parsers understand each platform's syntax so audit rules can be expressed in platform-agnostic terms, "SSH v1 disabled" means the right check on every vendor. One audit policy, your entire fleet.
Compliance Audit Reports
Generate audit reports formatted for external auditors and compliance assessments. Reports include per-device pass/fail status for every rule, evidence sections with the actual configuration excerpts, trend data showing compliance improvement over time, and executive summaries. Export to PDF for audit submissions or CSV for further analysis. Reports can be mapped to specific compliance frameworks, NIS2 Article 21, DORA ICT risk requirements, ISO 27001 Annex A.8, PCI-DSS requirement 1 and 2.
How It Works
Define Your Golden Baseline
Upload your golden configuration templates or build audit rules directly in ConnectMyAssets. Define what a compliant configuration looks like for each device role in your network. You can start from scratch, import existing configs as baselines, or use built-in rule packs for common frameworks like CIS Network Device Benchmarks or your own internal security standards. Rules can be as simple as checking for a specific command or as complex as validating structured parameters.
Run Audits Automatically
Schedule audit runs or trigger them manually. ConnectMyAssets retrieves the current running configuration from every device in scope, applies all audit rules, and calculates a compliance score. Results are available immediately in the dashboard, color-coded by severity, filterable by site, vendor, or rule category. You see at a glance which devices are fully compliant, which have warnings, and which have critical failures that require immediate attention.
Remediate & Report
For each deviation, follow the guided remediation workflow, open a ticket, push a fix, or escalate to your security team. Once remediation is complete, re-run the audit to confirm compliance. Generate a compliance report for your auditors with full evidence of the audit process, deviations found, and remediation actions taken. ConnectMyAssets maintains the historical audit record so you can demonstrate continuous compliance monitoring, not just point-in-time snapshots.
