What does the Licensed Programs in IBM i System Administration Kit include?

The Licensed Programs in IBM i System Administration Kit includes 612 self-assessment questions across 12 maturity domains, a gap analysis matrix in Excel, a remediation roadmap template in Word, a policy alignment guide referencing IBM, NIST, and ISO standards, and all files delivered via instant digital download. This self-assessment is designed for IT security, compliance, and system administration professionals who need to evaluate and improve their organisation’s management of licensed programs on IBM i systems.

Are you exposing your organisation to security vulnerabilities, compliance failures, or operational inefficiencies because you're unable to systematically assess the licensed programs running on your IBM i system? The Licensed Programs in IBM i System Administration Kit is a comprehensive self-assessment solution that empowers compliance managers, IT security leads, and system administrators to rapidly identify unauthorised, outdated, or non-compliant software across IBM i environments. With 600+ structured assessment questions mapped to IBM’s Licensed Program Technical Support guidelines, IBM i Security Reference, and CIS IBM i Benchmarks, this kit enables you to audit your system configuration, validate software licensing compliance, and eliminate hidden risks before they trigger regulatory scrutiny, failed audits, or system breaches.

What You Receive

  • 612 targeted self-assessment questions organised across 12 critical domains, Software Licensing Compliance, System Integrity, User Access Controls, Audit Logging, Patch Management, and more, enabling you to conduct a full forensic review of all licensed programs on your IBM i platform
  • 12-domain maturity assessment framework with scoring rubrics from Level 1 (Initial/Unmanaged) to Level 5 (Optimised), allowing you to benchmark current practices, quantify risk exposure, and track improvement over time
  • Gap analysis matrix (Excel format) that automatically highlights non-compliant areas, maps them to specific IBM i security and licensing requirements, and prioritises remediation actions by urgency and impact
  • Remediation roadmap template (Word) with pre-built action items, owner assignments, and milestone tracking to accelerate closure of audit findings and support internal or external certification efforts
  • Policy alignment guide linking each assessment criterion to relevant sections of IBM’s Knowledge Centre, NIST SP 800-53, ISO/IEC 27001, and SOX controls, ensuring your organisation meets recognised governance standards
  • Instant digital download of all 48-page assessment workbook, scoring calculator, and reference mappings, no waiting, no shipping, immediate access to begin your compliance review

How This Helps You

Without a formal, repeatable process for assessing licensed programs on IBM i, your organisation risks running unlicensed software, violating IBM licence agreements, and facing significant financial penalties during audits. Outdated or unpatched licensed programs create exploitable vulnerabilities that threat actors can leverage to gain unauthorised access to sensitive data. This self-assessment kit transforms ambiguity into action: within one business day, you can complete a full evaluation of your IBM i environment, pinpoint exact compliance gaps, and generate an executive-ready report showing risk severity and remediation progress. By proactively identifying unauthorised program usage or misconfigurations, you reduce the likelihood of audit fines by up to 90%, improve system uptime through better change control, and strengthen your security posture against insider threats and external attacks. Delaying assessment means prolonging exposure, every unverified licensed program is a potential liability.

Who Is This For?

  • IT Security Leads responsible for securing IBM i systems and ensuring alignment with enterprise cybersecurity frameworks
  • Compliance Officers preparing for internal audits, SOX reviews, or regulatory inspections requiring documented proof of software licence compliance
  • System Administrators managing day-to-day operations of IBM i environments and needing a structured way to verify program integrity and configuration
  • Risk Managers assessing technology-related risks across hybrid infrastructure and requiring standardised evaluation tools
  • Consultants and Auditors delivering third-party assessments and needing an industry-recognised methodology to evaluate IBM i licensed program controls

Purchasing the Licensed Programs in IBM i System Administration Kit is not an expense, it’s a risk mitigation strategy that pays for itself the first time it prevents a failed audit or detects a critical security flaw. As the only self-assessment tool specifically designed around IBM’s licensed program requirements and security best practices, it equips you with the exact questions, scoring logic, and remediation guidance needed to maintain control, demonstrate compliance, and operate with confidence.
