What RBAC granularity should I expect in an enterprise ITAM tool—and how does InvGate compare?
Look for: role-based permissions across modules, plus object-level scoping (e.g., by location/department) and privileged actions (deployment, deletion, bulk edits). InvGate Asset Management supports RBAC and tag-based permissions, so you can restrict who can view or manage subsets of assets and limit privileged actions.
How can ITAM teams restrict "high-risk actions" like software deployment—and what controls exist in InvGate?
In ITAM, deployment is a security boundary. In InvGate Asset Management, deployment permissions can be restricted via role permissions plus tag-based scoping (who can act on which endpoints / packages). This supports separation of duties (e.g., inventory admins vs deployment operators).
Can visibility be limited by region, department, or business unit in a single ITAM instance?
Yes—when the platform supports scoped permissions. InvGate Asset Management can scope visibility using RBAC + dynamic tags so teams only see assets relevant to their region/department while preserving a single system of record.
How do ITAM platforms usually handle encryption—and what does InvGate do?
Mature ITAM vendors encrypt in transit (TLS) and at rest (commonly AES-256). InvGate Asset Management follows this standard approach: TLS for transport and strong encryption at rest, so asset inventory, user/device identifiers, and contract data are protected across the lifecycle.
What security assurances (e.g., SOC 2 / ISO 27001) should a buyer request—and how does InvGate handle this?
For ITAM, ask for: SOC 2 Type II (or equivalent controls report), ISO/IEC 27001 certificate, pen test summaries, and a security whitepaper. SOC 2 is a controls report against trust services criteria, and ISO 27001 is an ISMS standard. InvGate Asset Management provides security/compliance documentation through its Trust/Compliance portal or via Sales/Support upon request (this is the right place to confirm the current certifications, scope, and dates).
Is single-tenant vs multi-tenant relevant for ITAM evaluations—and how does InvGate deploy?
It can be, because ITAM data is operationally sensitive. InvGate Asset Management commonly deploys with strong tenant isolation (dedicated instances are a typical approach in their architecture), and on-prem is available when customers need full isolation and control.

How do you find out which computers in your organization have local administrator accounts enabled?
Local administrator accounts on endpoint devices are a significant and often invisible security risk — they give users elevated privileges that can be exploited, bypassed in audits, or simply forgotten about. Security and compliance teams regularly need to know exactly which machines have active local admin users so they can take remediation action or enforce policies. InvGate Asset Management now allows teams to filter their entire device inventory by the presence of local administrator group members — returning a clean list of every computer with at least one enabled privileged local account. From there, teams can drill into each device profile to see the specific accounts involved, or view that data directly in the explorer with the relevant columns — giving IT the visibility needed to act before an audit or security incident forces the issue.
How should I think about auditability (logs/backups) for ITAM—and what’s the InvGate approach?
Ask: retention windows, where logs live, whether backups stay in-region, and how restore works. InvGate Asset Management supports backup and logging practices designed for operational recovery and audit needs; confirm exact retention and access paths during security review (especially if you have regulated log-retention requirements).
