GASP is the audit tool offered, as shareware, by the BSA, to help companies determine whether they are in compliance. Is a GASP software audit accurate? Yes, as a matter of fact, GASP audits are accurate enough to be used as evidence in legal proceedings worldwide. GASP's accuracy is also recognized by the Software Information Industry Association (SIIA), FAAST and IT Professionals world-wide.
A regular program of periodic auditing with GASP accompanied by a strong and well-defined company policy statement can provide excellent insurance and significant return on investment in improved software and IT asset management. Intent counts when it comes to enforcement efforts. If a company can show intent to self-police and enforce a strong software policy it is improbable that it will be targeted for involuntary enforcement action.
