Compliance (KRITIS, ISO27001 and NIS-2)

Ensure compliance with laws, standards and guidelines.

Secure critical infrastructures transparently. With i-doit, risks according to ISO 27001 can be systematically recorded, evaluated and linked to the affected assets. This creates a transparent basis for the verification of security measures and the implementation of NIS2 requirements. Technical and organizational measures (TOMs) are centrally documented, monitored and maintained in an audit-proof manner.

Advantages:

Auditable infrastructure
Audit-proof recording in accordance with NIS2 & ISO-27001 & BSI-KritisV
Strengthening of information security
Implementation of PDCA processes
Faster response in the event of an incident or crisis

Ticketing - Central process control

Link processes and associated assets.

Control IT service processes efficiently and transparently. With the integration of ticket systems in i-doit, you can bundle all processes in one place. From fault reports and change requests to service requests. The link to your assets, contracts and responsibilities creates a central information base for the entire IT operation.

Tickets are documented in a traceable manner, automatically classified and can be prioritized, delegated and closed using defined workflows. This creates a smooth process between technology, organization and support.

Advantages:

Standardized control of all IT processes
Clear responsibilities and faster response times
Seamless traceability of changes and measures
Direct connection to CMDB objects and documentation
Basis for key figures, evaluations and process optimization

Live status from monitoring

Integrate live data into IT documentation

Efficient monitoring ensures that your IT systems are available and transparently documented at all times. With i-doit, monitoring data can be transferred directly into the CMDB. Devices, hosts and services are automatically synchronized and kept up to date. This gives you an overview of the status and life cycle of your entire infrastructure.

By linking monitoring information with the IT documentation, you can detect failures at an early stage, track changes to devices or services and analyze dependencies in a targeted manner. i-doit not only makes monitoring data visible, but also forms the basis for data-driven decisions.

Advantages of infrastructure monitoring with i-doit:

Automatic synchronization: devices, hosts and services from the monitoring are directly synchronized with the IT documentation - without double maintenance effort.
Up-to-date system overview: All status information, runtimes and changes are visible in the CMDB at all times.
Fast error detection: Failures and faults are recorded immediately and displayed in the documentation.
Life cycle transparency: Changes, maintenance and replacement times can be tracked seamlessly.
Linked information: Monitoring data is in the context of services, contracts, locations or responsible parties.
Better basis for decision-making: The combination of real-time data and documentation creates a complete picture of your IT landscape.
Efficiency and compliance: Less manual work, reduced risk of errors and clean evidence for audits and certifications.

Automatic network inventory

Complete and up-to-date recording of IT infrastructure.

With the automatic network inventory, all devices, systems and software installations in your network are regularly detected, recorded and synchronized with i-doit. This creates a CMDB that is always up-to-date and complete - without any manual effort.

By connecting tools such as JDisc, OCS Inventory or Baramundi, all relevant information - from hardware data and installed software to IP addresses and ports - can be centrally managed and evaluated. Changes in the network are automatically detected and documented in a versioned format.

Advantages:

Complete and up-to-date IT database without manual effort
Automatic detection of changes in the network
Seamless integration with the i-doit CMDB
Basis for audits, compliance and IT documentation
Significant time savings for inventory and IT reporting

API usage - exchange data intelligently with other systems

Synchronize data between any applications and systems

With the i-doit API, you can seamlessly connect your CMDB to existing applications, services and automations. Whether ticketing, monitoring, discovery, asset management or your own business tools: Data can be exchanged bidirectionally, updated and processed in real time. This creates a central information point that connects different systems with each other and considerably simplifies processes.

Configurations, status values, object data and relationships can be automatically transferred to or from external systems. Changes made in a connected system can be immediately mapped in the CMDB - without manual effort and without duplicate data storage.

The API enables companies to flexibly expand their processes, automate workflows and make information available exactly where it is needed.

Advantages:

Automatic data exchange between CMDB and third-party systems
Bidirectional synchronization of assets, status values, relationships and metadata
No duplicate maintenance thanks to a central, standardized data source
Flexible integration into existing software landscapes and specially developed tools
Automation of processes (e.g. creation of new tickets, discovery updates, monitoring alerts)
Higher data quality, as information is always kept up-to-date and consistent
Optimal basis for processes, reporting, audits and ITSM workflows
