Modules
User Management
Aungate Monitor facilitates the administration of all users and virtual compliance groups in the system, a prerequisite for any organization that wants to implement effective compliance procedures such as workflow and escalation processes. This standard feature allows the organization to define user, role or group hierarchies at user, Reviewer and Compliance Officer level. Aungate's User Management features enable Reviewers to generate sample sets of data that can be assigned to any virtual review group for compliance detection. Furthermore, Aungate's intuitive User Management tool provides the flexibility to assign Compliance Officers to any defined review group or delineate any departmental exclusion via the virtual compliance group hierarchy.

Features include:
Full user management (add, remove and edit users) Extensive and flexible system privileges to define a users restrictions in terms
of functionality and workflow (incorporates pre-built roles such as Reviewer and Compliance Officer or allows you to define your own)

Multiple compliance hierarchies with the ability to create virtual review groups
and easily view relationships

Drag and drop for quick and easy establishment of compliance relationships Unlimited depth in directory hierarchy Integration with existing LDAP , SiteMinder or NT security systems.

Inbox
Aungate Inbox provides Compliance Officers with the ability to effectively view and manage reviews and communications. Communications that have been captured by the Aungate system are routed to a Compliance Officer and will appear in the Inbox.

Immediate identification of the Aungate Capture Module which was used to
create the communication (MS Outlook Capture, MSN Messenger Capture etc) as well as the user response to that particular compliance incident

The ability to add extra notes to the compliance incident, which will be kept
throughout its system life cycle

Full detailed tracking of all actions.

Policy Management
Aungate's Policy Management function enables Compliance Officers or Reviewers to implement an automated policy enforcement process against communications of a particular type. Policies can be applied at individual user or group level, and the policy severity level can be defined using either default levels, by defining your own, or based on the strength of conceptual matches. In the event of policy changes, the system can be easily retrained to incorporate these. Compliance Officers are also able to define specific triggers so that any policy infringement can be detected within the organization. These triggers can in turn be used automatically by any Aungate Capture Module to provide real-time blocking and warning of policy infringement, assisting a Reviewer or Compliance Officer during the process. Furthermore, triggers can be used during an advanced investigation using Aungate Investigator. Features include:

The ability to define policies through conceptual, natural language, by

example, Boolean, exact keyword training, or any combination of these

A wide variety of notification mechanisms for policy infringement (allows

actions to be defined for each policy infringement which can be directed through any Aungate Alert Module)

Adding arbitrary meta-data on top of default data for any policy Unlimited hierarchical policy structure Full policy taxonomy support with an existing taxonomy or an automatically
generated one

Full integration with Aungate's unique ability to understand content - find the
policy you want immediately

The ability to select individual Aungate Capture Modules for each policy or on all Extensive yet flexible policy detection; checks all or a subset of content,

attachments, signature, recipients (including those blindcopied) etc - this can be a combination of both conceptual and Boolean

Importing/exporting via the Aungate Policy Import Module (permissions preserved throughout) The ability to undo last policy modifications Full detailed tracking of all actions.

Reports
Aungate provides extensive monitoring, auditing, logging and reporting capabilities delivering instant compliance visibility and a system of accountability to ensure compliance procedures are upheld at all times. The Reports function dynamically generates reports on a specified set of data, providing the ability to check the status of all reviews and communications in the system. Reports on reviews can be generated showing the number of reviews: in progress, completed and outstanding as well as whether or not they require delegation or escalation. You are then able to sort results by various criteria: user name, sample name, creation date etc in order to view the report information in a way relevant to your needs. Similar reports can be generated for communications.

Block and Warn

Aungate provides the unique ability to block or block and warn communications based on the conceptual meaning contained within them. In addition, Aungate provides standard keyword and rule-based blocking and warning. These features can, for example, enable organizations to block internal communications between departments or those that mention a particular topic.

The system enables the routing of information to repositories, recipients or groups based on pre-defined rules. In the event that potentially non-compliant information is detected, the system is able to route that information and alert the appropriate personnel. Aungate also provides standard keyword and rule-based routing and alerting.
