16.3 Compliance Reports

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

16.3.1 Identify Security Policies that Need Attention

The Policy Templates view lists the combined results for all endpoints per policy template, so you can identify which security policies need the most attention.

For example, the report contains the results for Password Strength, PCI DSS, and CIS Benchmark policy templates run in the last 30 days on your financial servers. You can see that the Password Strength and CIS Benchmark policy templates are In Compliance, but the PCI DSS policy template is Out of Compliance. Now you can investigate your processes and endpoints that caused the non-compliant state.

16.3.2 Compare Compliance Results by Endpoint

The Endpoints view lists the compliance status of your endpoints per policy template. This can help you compare known, good endpoints with new or questionable endpoints.

If you run the policy templates regularly for the selected endpoints, the report can display a trend graph that indicates changes in compliance over time.
