How It Fits Together

Five Tools. One Operational Workflow.

From asset discovery through audit execution, controlled remediation with rollback, and tamper-evident evidence packaging, the five products in this suite cover the full security operations and compliance lifecycle. Each tool is purpose-built and self-hostable. Together they form a complete platform that deploys in your environment without external cloud dependencies.

Toolkit Structure

Main toolkit, sub-tools, and agent layers

The Audit Admin Toolkit is the core platform, with distinct sub-tools and agent models that support different deployment patterns across five products.

Layer What it includes Why it matters
Core platform Web application, central workflow engine, and REST API (390+ endpoints) Single control plane for findings, evidence, scheduling, and reporting
Audit script libraries Linux scripts, Windows PowerShell scripts, and hypervisor audit scripts Covers server, endpoint, and virtualisation audit scenarios in one platform
Agent execution layer Standalone Agent, Fleet Agent, Hypervisor agent, plus Fleet Agent coordinator service Supports single-host, fleet-scale, and hypervisor-native collection modes
Extension and companion tools Linux Security Lite, CMDB API Data Collection Tool, Asset Command Center, Secure Exposure Centre Adds deeper Linux controls, ingestion/normalization, and asset governance context
Remediation and evidence SuperAdmin-gated direct host remediation over SSH and WinRM. Secondary auth token required. Atomic rollback by execution ID. SHA-256 signed evidence packages with MANIFEST.json for auditor delivery. Controlled change execution with full audit trail, rollback safety, and tamper-evident compliance evidence output.
Naming note: older references to Managed Agent and Lightweight Agent map to Fleet Agent and Standalone Agent in current docs.

Operational Flow

How they fit in one lifecycle

The tools are designed as an operational chain, not isolated silos.

1. Discover and collect

CMDB API and asset discovery gather host, software, and network inventory. CVE and KEV context are applied per asset.

2. Enrich and contextualize

Asset Command Center layers governance context, ownership, and lifecycle visibility. Secure Exposure Centre adds network infrastructure posture.

3. Audit and validate

Audit Admin Toolkit runs audit workflows and Linux Security Lite adds deeper Linux control verification.

4. Remediate

SuperAdmin-gated direct host remediation over SSH and WinRM with secondary auth and dry-run preview before every execution.

5. Validate and roll back

Post-remediation validation with automatic or manual rollback by execution ID when outcomes are not compliant.

6. Evidence and improve

SHA-256 signed evidence packages, SIEM export, trend analysis, and compliance trajectory reporting for continual improvement.

Deployment Models

How to deploy by operating pattern

Mode Description Best for
Single-host (Standalone Agent) Core platform plus Standalone Agent on one machine. Local dashboard, local findings, and no coordinator required. Small environments, evaluation, developer workstations
