Turnkey Software License Audit and Assessment Services
A Software License Audit ensures that all software deployed within an organization is compliant with vendor agreements, licensing terms, and regulatory requirements. It helps businesses avoid penalties, manage costs, and maintain complete visibility over their software assets.
At Shieldbyte Infosec, we conduct comprehensive software license audits to help organizations achieve transparency, accountability, and compliance across their IT ecosystem. Our approach aligns with international frameworks to optimize software usage and minimize financial and legal exposure. Our team of certified auditors and IT asset governance specialists performs detailed assessments of license ownership, deployment, entitlement records, and usage analytics. We identify over-licensed and under-licensed software, assess contract compliance, and recommend optimization strategies for cost efficiency.
A structured Software License Audit not only ensures regulatory adherence but also drives cost optimization, risk reduction, and governance maturity across the enterprise.
