Understanding Policy Templates

Select Assess > Policy Templates

You can run individual security checks or combine security checks into a policy template to run against an endpoint or a group of endpoints. Security checks test endpoints for a specific configuration setting or security risk on a specific platform, such as user privileges for an Oracle database. Policy templates are a collection of security checks that audit your assets for a specific set of issues, such as those defined by the PCI DSS standards.

You can delete a policy template, run one or more policy templates, or generate a dynamic report from one or more policy templates. To run a policy template, see Running a Policy Template. To generate a dynamic report, see Using Dynamic Reports to Identify Risks and Vulnerabilities.
