Need a tool to Measure IT security (High, Medium, Low)

Dear all,
  
Currently I’m looking for a tool to measure IT security?
  
The baseline for the tool is Risk Management, Policy Exceptions, Assessments, Security, Associate Education, Anti-virus info/updates, Spy ware info/updates, Vulnerability Management, and Other 3rd party vendor info.

I found one tool that does what I want it to do, but I would like to find a few more to compare.  Price is not a problem. An example of the tool of what I found is: Archer (www.archer-tech.com)  

We are not looking for a product that will do the scanning, but a product that will do the reporting (Create Charts/Text) and we enter/import the data into this database.  Maybe a kind of database just like the Archer tool, anyone know of any of Archer’s competitors?  

We need a tool to measure how secure are we each month and create reports, the reports may need to be custom. We have many tools that do the scanning for us.  We want to take this data from these tools and enter it into something that will give it a risk rating (High, Medium, Low).
  
Please share your experience about this matter.

If there our any links about this issue, I would really appreciate if you share with us (You may contact me privately if you would like or on here) .
  
  
Best Regards,
