13.2 Types of Dynamic Reports

Each report definition aligns with one of the following categories:

Compliance

Helps you determine how the specified endpoints or groups of endpoints comply with your organization’s security policies and technical standards.

Risk

Helps you determine whether the specified endpoints or groups of endpoints, pose a high, medium, or low security risk to your environment.

Snapshot

Gives you a high-level view of the state of risk and compliance for the specified endpoints or groups of endpoints.

NOTE:If an assessment results in an error for an endpoint, the Web console displays a compliance or risk score of -1 for the endpoint / security check combination that caused the error. The error might indicate that the endpoint needs to be re-registered, the security check failed to function appropriately, or the agent lost communication with the endpoint or Core Services.

You can create new report definitions by modifying an existing definition or by starting with no base definition setting other than one of these types. For more information, see Section 15.0, Creating a Report Definition.
