What does the System Configuration in IBM i System Administration Kit include?

The System Configuration in IBM i System Administration Kit includes a comprehensive self-assessment with 1563 prioritised requirements, 680+ structured questions across 12 configuration domains, gap analysis worksheets in Excel, scoring rubrics aligned to CIS and IBM standards, remediation roadmaps, policy templates, and executive reporting tools. All files are delivered instantly via digital download in Excel, CSV, Word, and PDF formats for immediate use in audits, security reviews, or system optimisation projects.

What happens if your IBM i system is misconfigured? You face unauthorised access, failed audits, regulatory fines, production outages, and compromised data integrity, risks that escalate silently until they trigger a critical incident. The System Configuration in IBM i System Administration Kit eliminates these dangers with a comprehensive self-assessment framework that identifies configuration gaps before they become liabilities. This 1563-requirement audit-grade dataset gives you full visibility into your system’s compliance, security, and operational readiness, ensuring your IBM i environment meets industry standards like CIS, NIST, and ISO/IEC 27001. Without this assessment, you’re operating blind, exposing your organisation to avoidable breaches, non-compliance penalties, and system instability.

What You Receive

  • A complete self-assessment with 1563 prioritised requirements across 12 IBM i system configuration domains, including user access controls, network security, job scheduling, auditing, object authority, and system values, each mapped to compliance benchmarks and best practices
  • 680+ targeted assessment questions structured by maturity level (Initial, Managed, Defined, Quantitatively Managed, Optimised), enabling you to score current practices and track improvement over time
  • 12 domain-specific gap analysis worksheets (Excel format) that highlight deficiencies, assign risk ratings, and auto-generate remediation priorities based on impact and urgency
  • Scoring rubrics and benchmarking criteria aligned to CIS Controls v8 and IBM Security Guidance, so you can compare your configuration posture against industry baselines
  • Remediation roadmap templates (Word and Excel) that translate findings into actionable tasks with due dates, ownership assignments, and progress tracking
  • Policy reference samples for system value settings, user profile management, and audit journal configuration, fully customisable to your environment
  • Executive summary template (Word) to report findings, risk exposure, and improvement plans to stakeholders and auditors
  • Instant digital download in multiple formats: Excel (.xlsx) for analysis, CSV for integration, and PDF for documentation and audit trails

How This Helps You

Every unchecked system value or unauthorised user profile increases your attack surface. This self-assessment allows you to detect misconfigurations in under 90 minutes, before auditors or attackers do. You’ll validate that critical settings like QAUDCTL, QLMTSECOFR, and *ALLOBJ usage are correctly enforced, ensuring compliance with SOX, HIPAA, and GDPR where applicable. By implementing the assessment quarterly, you reduce configuration drift, prevent privilege escalation incidents, and demonstrate due diligence during audits. Organisations that skip structured assessments waste months reacting to incidents instead of proactively strengthening defences, this toolkit shifts you from reactive to predictive governance. The result? Faster audit sign-offs, stronger security posture, and confidence that your IBM i system operates as designed, not by accident.

Who Is This For?

  • IBM i System Administrators who need to verify configuration integrity and document compliance controls
  • IT Security Officers responsible for hardening enterprise systems against insider threats and external attacks
  • Compliance Managers preparing for internal audits or external regulatory reviews (e.g., SOX, PCI DSS)
  • Risk and Governance Analysts assessing technical controls within broader risk management programmes
  • Consultants delivering IBM i health checks or migration readiness assessments for clients
  • IT Operations Leads standardising configuration practices across multiple AS/400 or Power Systems environments

Choosing not to assess your IBM i configuration isn’t cost saving, it’s risk accumulation. The System Configuration in IBM i System Administration Kit is the professional’s standard for ensuring system integrity, compliance, and operational resilience. Download it now and turn uncertainty into assurance, one verified setting at a time.
