Let's handle the sensitivity separately and get back to the topic.
I've used both nmap and nessus as an audit tool and you might want to look into some of the nessus reports generated to match it with your audit requirements. nmap is fantastic for OS fingerprinting however I believe nessus uses nmap too as part of its tests to determine a number of parameters. Hence, nessus might just cover the entire gambit of things u're looking for here.
