Docusnap
Docusnap inventories IT infrastructure and uses that data to produce documentation, network maps, and reports. Its scope includes IT asset management, permission analysis, license management, and security analysis. The locally installed product discovers infrastructure without installing agents on target systems; Docusnap365 is a cloud service with automatic updates and a REST interface. Integration options include export and import functions, a bidirectional REST API, an MCP interface, Zapier, and CSV and Excel imports. Docusnap365 provides a structural foundation for ISO 27001, NIS2, DORA, and BSI IT-Grundschutz, but does not certify or conduct audits. The maker says Docusnap is GDPR compliant and ISO 27001 certified; Docusnap365 is hosted in Europe, and its AI model is hosted in the EU without data transfer to external AI providers. Listed annual prices start at €465.00 per year for Docusnap and Docusnap365; Docusnap 15 costs €1,499.00 per year and includes all modules.
