    Simon,

          You may want to take a look at the latest Information Security
    magazine (June). There is an article about a product called CORE IMPACT
    that purports to do what you're looking for. I personally have no
    experience with the product, and it didn't get an especially good review
    from the magazine, but if you're interested you can find the article
    on-line at:
