What We Assess

6 Areas We Examine

01
Installed Package Enumeration
Catalogues every installed package across your servers — apt, yum, pip, npm, gem, and manual installations — with version details.
02
End-of-Life Detection
Flags software that has reached or is approaching end-of-life. No more security patches means unmitigated risk exposure.
03
Version Currency Analysis
Compares installed versions against latest stable releases. Identifies how far behind your software stack is from current patches.
04
License Compliance Check
Verifies software license compliance — commercial subscriptions, open-source obligations (GPL, AGPL), and per-seat licensing accuracy.
05
Unauthorized Software Detection
Identifies software not on your approved list — personal tools, crypto miners, torrent clients, and other policy violations.
06
CVE Matching
Matches every installed package and version against the CVE database to surface known vulnerabilities affecting your environment.
Who This Assessment Is For

Any organisation managing multiple servers or workstations that needs accurate software asset management, vulnerability visibility, or license compliance reporting.

Common Findings We Uncover
End-of-life OS or language runtimes still in production
Critical CVEs in installed packages with patches available
Unauthorized software installations by developers
License over-deployment or expired subscriptions
Outdated dependencies in application stacks
Compliance Frameworks Mapped
CERT-In DirectivesCIS Controls v8ISO 27001 A.8DPDP Act

Common Questions

How do you detect end-of-life software?
We maintain a database of vendor EOL dates for all major software. SpectraAgent matches your installed versions against this database and flags anything past or approaching end of support.
Can you check license compliance?
Yes. We compare installed software against your declared licenses. This covers commercial software, open-source license obligations, and subscription-based tools.
What about containers and cloud instances?
SpectraAgent inventories packages inside containers and across cloud VMs. The assessment covers your deployment model and identifies blind spots.
