Secure Configuration Manager provides dozens of built-in policy templates to ensure policy compliance. The built-in templates and the updates provided with the AutoSync feature provide thorough vulnerability coverage. You can edit an existing policy template to meet your organization’s security policies. For more information about editing a template, see Modifying Built-in Policy Templates.
You can also create your own policy templates tailored to meet the technical policies and regulations specific to your workplace. Custom templates can include any combination of built-in and custom security checks. Secure Configuration Manager provides a wizard to guide you through the process of building a policy template. For more information about creating a policy template in the Policy Template wizard, see Translating a Technical Standard to a Policy Template. After you create custom templates, you can export those templates as .tpl files. You can also export a built-in template, modify it, and then import it using a new name.
NOTE:The console might require extra time to import and display a policy template that contains a large volume of security checks. For example, a policy template with more than 1,000 security checks might require more than five minutes to import.
