White paper · Audit Process and Defense
The IBM Audit Defense Kit.
The buyer side playbook for the first thirty days of an IBM software audit: what to contain, what to never send, and how to build your compliance position before IBM finishes theirs. Independent and buyer side only.
What is inside
- The data containment checklist: exactly what to freeze the moment a notice arrives, and what should never leave your network unscoped
- The single point of contact rule and why scattered responses widen the finding
- A PVU and sub-capacity self-assessment you can run before IBM does
- The ILMT readiness test: the four conditions that keep sub-capacity alive
- The challenge framework for disputing findings line by line with evidence
- A settlement structure that folds forward renewal terms into the deal
