What does the Systems Review in IBM i System Administration Kit include?

The Systems Review in IBM i System Administration Kit includes 1563 self-assessment questions organised across 12 core administration domains, a maturity scoring model, gap analysis worksheets in Excel, remediation roadmap templates in Word and Excel, policy reference samples, and real-world case studies. All materials are provided as instant-download digital files, totaling over 230 pages of assessment content and practical tools for immediate use in IBM i system reviews, audits, and security hardening initiatives.

Are you exposing your organisation to undetected security vulnerabilities, compliance gaps, or system inefficiencies in your IBM i environment? Without a structured, comprehensive self-assessment, critical configuration weaknesses, outdated authority settings, and missed audit controls can persist undetected, putting your systems at risk of breach, non-compliance with regulatory standards like SOX or HIPAA, and operational downtime. The Systems Review in IBM i System Administration Kit is a complete self-assessment toolkit designed specifically for IBM i administrators and IT risk professionals who need to rapidly evaluate, document, and strengthen their system configurations with confidence. With 1563 rigorously validated assessment questions mapped to IBM i security, compliance, performance, and change management best practices, this kit enables you to uncover hidden risks, prioritise remediation, and demonstrate control maturity to auditors and stakeholders, before a failure occurs.

What You Receive

  • 1563 structured self-assessment questions across 12 critical IBM i system administration domains, including system security, user profile management, object authority, audit journal configuration, network services, job scheduling, backup integrity, and change control, enabling you to conduct a full technical and procedural review.
  • 12-domain maturity assessment framework with scoring rubrics and benchmarking criteria, allowing you to rate your current practices from Level 1 (Initial) to Level 5 (Optimised) and visually identify priority gaps.
  • Gap analysis worksheets (Excel format) that automatically calculate risk exposure scores and map findings to relevant compliance requirements such as NIST, CIS IBM i Benchmarks, and internal audit standards.
  • Remediation roadmap templates (Word and Excel) with prioritised action plans, owner assignments, and timeline tracking, so you can turn findings into executable improvement initiatives.
  • Real-world case studies and implementation examples for high-risk scenarios such as orphaned user profiles, *ALLOBJ exposure, unmonitored exit points, and unapproved PTF installations, giving context to each requirement and demonstrating proven mitigation strategies.
  • Policy and procedure reference samples aligned with each assessment domain, helping you draft or update formal IBM i administration standards quickly and correctly.
  • Instant digital download of all 230+ pages of assessment content, templates, and tools, ready for immediate use in your next system review, audit preparation, or security hardening project.

How This Helps You

Every unverified user profile, unlogged system event, or unchecked program adoption represents a potential control failure. Manual reviews are slow, inconsistent, and prone to oversight, especially in complex, long-standing IBM i environments. By implementing the Systems Review in IBM i System Administration Kit, you gain a repeatable, standards-aligned process to detect configuration drift, validate segregation of duties, and ensure compliance with internal and external audit requirements. You’ll reduce time spent preparing for audits by up to 70%, accelerate risk remediation cycles, and produce documented evidence that satisfies auditors and regulators. Most importantly, you mitigate the real business risks of inaction: failed audits, regulatory fines, unauthorised access, data leakage, and unplanned outages due to misconfigurations. This self-assessment doesn’t just highlight problems, it gives you the structure to prove control effectiveness and drive continuous improvement in your IBM i operations.

Who Is This For?

  • IBM i System Administrators who need a complete, structured checklist to validate system configurations and security settings during routine reviews or after changes.
  • IT Security Officers responsible for ensuring IBM i systems comply with enterprise security policies and industry regulations.
  • Internal and External Auditors looking for a detailed, standards-based assessment tool to evaluate IBM i control environments efficiently and consistently.
  • Compliance Managers preparing for SOX, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, or other regulatory audits involving IBM i platforms.
  • IT Risk and Governance Professionals building maturity models or conducting enterprise-wide risk assessments that include legacy systems.
  • Consultants and Managed Service Providers delivering IBM i health checks, security reviews, or compliance readiness services to clients.

Purchasing the Systems Review in IBM i System Administration Kit is not an expense, it’s a strategic investment in system integrity, compliance assurance, and operational resilience. This is the professional standard for structured, evidence-based IBM i assessments, trusted by administrators and auditors worldwide to eliminate blind spots and strengthen control frameworks. Take command of your IBM i environment with a tool that delivers clarity, accountability, and actionable outcomes from day one.
