Using Assessment Reports to Identify Risks and Vulnerabilities

Select Reports > Assessment Reports

To help you evaluate how the endpoints in your environment adhere to the security and system configuration policies you want to enforce, you can review the results of policy templates and security checks run on those endpoints.

When you run a policy template or security check, Secure Configuration Manager generates a job. Each job runs asynchronously so you can initiate or schedule concurrent runs of policy templates and security checks. In Jobs, you can view the status of the scheduled, pending, and completed jobs. You can also view an assessment report for each policy template or security check that runs successfully.

To simplify the results of your assessments, you can include or exclude data for specific security checks or endpoints and groups. Depending on how you want to filter the data in report results, you can create and apply saved lists or exceptions. For more information, see Managing Data in Reports.

You can also combines the results of multiple policy templates into a dynamic report. For more information, see Using Dynamic Reports to Identify Risks and Vulnerabilities.
