HEURISTIC POLICY ANALYSIS
First Claim
1. A method for measuring usefulness of one policy of a plurality of policies in an organization having a plurality of entities, comprising steps of:
- for one or more tests;
using a test to calculate a test result for the one policy based on current violator entities of the one policy and potential violator entities of the one policy, said calculating being performed using a processor; and
determining a policy ranking for the one policy based on the test result of the test; and
evaluating the one policy based on the policy rankings determined from the one or more tests.

Abstract
A system and method using statistical analysis for the process of analyzing and generating organizational policies is presented. This inventive method comprises, for one or more tests, using a test to calculate a test result for the policy based on current violator entities and potential violator entities, and determining a policy ranking for the policy based on the test result of the test, and evaluating the policy based on the policy rankings determined from the tests. The method can also comprise creating a repository comprising the policy rankings for the plurality of policies. The repository can be used to trend, benchmark, alert and improve the policies. The method can also comprise creating a rule profile for the one policy comprising the one policy, the current violator entities of the policy, the potential violator entities of the policy, the test results and the policy rankings from the tests.
