62% of organisations were audited by software vendors in 2024. 32% incurred liabilities exceeding $1 million. The root cause is always the same: no accurate deployment data, no real-time Effective License Position tracking, no mature SAM process. Asset Monitor fixes this — in your own database, running from Day 1.
Asset Monitor is the entry tier of UNUS Govern. It contains two production-ready modules — Software Asset Management and Hardware Asset Management — both running in your own Supabase/PostgreSQL environment. The system calculates your real licence exposure within hours of provisioning.
ISO/IEC 19770-1:2017 mandates continuous Effective License Position tracking. The SAM module enforces this at the database layer — not as a spreadsheet reconciliation, but as a live schema-level calculation that updates with every installation and removal.
compliance_snapshots
The Hardware Asset Register enforces the full ITIL 4 asset lifecycle at the schema layer. Every device transitions through defined states with timestamps and audit logs. IEC 80000-13:2008 binary prefix notation is enforced on all capacity fields — GiB, not GB.

The sw_license_entitlements table holds your licence supply. The sw_deployments table holds your demand — sourced from SCCM, Intune, JAMF, or manual entry. The system calculates ELP continuously. When the position goes negative, a compliance flag is raised automatically. No spreadsheet. No manual reconciliation.

On the first day of each month, an n8n workflow archives the current ELP position for every managed title into the compliance_snapshots table. This produces an immutable, timestamped audit trail — exactly what an ISO/IEC 19770-1 audit or software vendor inspection requires. Export the snapshot table on demand as a CSV or PDF report.
Every state transition in hw_inventory is captured by a database trigger. The trigger writes a before-and-after JSONB record to the asset audit log — an append-only table that cannot be modified or deleted. When a regulator or auditor asks to see your device history, the query returns a complete, timestamped chain of custody.
hw_inventory
You've received a licence compliance letter from Microsoft, Adobe, or Oracle. You have 30 days to produce an accurate deployment inventory. Your spreadsheet has 200 rows and three months of drift. Asset Monitor provisions your SAM schema in 10 minutes and runs ELP against your discovery data on Day 1.
Your certification body requires evidence of ISO/IEC 19770-1 alignment — a maintained software asset inventory with licence position tracking and an audit trail. Asset Monitor satisfies ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Controls A.8.1.1 and A.8.1.2 as a natural output of normal operations.
62% of IT teams have no accurate means of tracking real-time software usage. If you are currently managing assets in a spreadsheet, a shared folder, or a SaaS tool with a 10,000-record export limit — Asset Monitor is the production-grade replacement. It costs less per month than your current spreadsheet tool licence.
The SAM module satisfies the core requirements of ISO/IEC 19770-1 — software identification, deployment recording, and ELP calculation. Monthly snapshots produce the immutable audit trail required by Clause 4.3.3.
All capacity fields use IEC-mandated binary prefix notation. ram_capacity_gib and disk_capacity_gib store values as gibibytes (2³⁰ bytes). COMMENT ON COLUMN metadata at the schema layer documents the unit standard.
Row Level Security policies enforce persona-based permissions. Immutable audit triggers block UPDATE and DELETE on audit log tables. Asset ownership tracked via primary_user field per Control A.8.1.2.
primary_user
Hardware lifecycle states enforce the ITIL 4 SACM practice. No undocumented disposals. No ad-hoc status changes. Every transition is timestamped and produces audit evidence as a natural output of normal asset operations.
Flat fee. No per-seat charges. No renewal uplift.
