IT Structure Analysis Agent

The structure analysis takes months. Your material names the same devices differently.

Turns heterogeneous network plans, lists and organisation charts into an information domain ready for modelling.

A site delivers its documentation. The work starts after that.

The site sends three files in three formats. The staff unit then works out by hand which entries mean the same target object, and asks IT operations about every contradiction.

1network planA site delivers its documentation as a PDF.
3formatsPlan, spreadsheet and organisation chart describe the same devices.
2spellingsThe same server has different names in two lists.
27exceptionsIn the end, 27 entries remain where only a query to IT operations settles which spelling applies.

Before the first call to IT operations, the 27 exceptions are already listed in a table; for the North site, 60% less survey effort above all means that no query goes out without a source reference.

The 60% reduction in survey effort comes from the agent's profile. The four lines describe a typical survey at one site and are not a measured result.

Three steps through the process.

From the network plan, asset list and organisation chart the agent extracts the target objects, contradictions included; only IT operations knows whether a device is actually running on the network.

Merge raw data

The agent reads the network documentation, the asset list and the organisation chart repository. It transfers every entry into one shared table with a source column.

Group target objects

The agent groups similar entries into target object groups. Differing spellings are marked as exceptions.

412 individual entries into 38 target object groups, 27 exceptions

Model the information domain

The agent assigns the groups to organisational units. It proposes a boundary for the information domain and gives its reasons.

What the agent does not do.

It does not decide the scope.

It proposes a boundary for the information domain and gives its reasons. The information security officer makes that call.

It does not judge the protection requirement of a specialist application.

It groups 412 entries into 38 target objects and marks 27 exceptions. Whether a specialist application has a normal or high protection requirement is judged by the specialist department and the application owner.

Anything added since the network plan was last updated is missing.

Netzplan_Standort_Nord.pdf reflects the position as of its last update. Devices that IT operations commissioned after that appear in none of the 38 target object groups.

The questions that come up before the first meeting.

How quickly is the IT Structure Analysis Agent ready to use?

A pilot typically runs on your own data within 4 to 6 weeks. The agent connects to your existing systems rather than running as a separate, parallel environment.

Where is the data processed?

EU cloud, private cloud or on-premises. Processing is GDPR-compliant and models are never trained on your data. Details in the Trust Center.

Where does the figure “60% less survey effort” come from?

It is based on experience from comparable projects and process benchmarks, not a commitment. We work out the realistic effect for your organisation during the assessment before the pilot.
