22.0 Viewing Compliance to Configuration Policies

Sentinel is a compliance monitoring system that helps you verify whether your enterprise is compliant with internal policies, information security standards such as PCI DSS and ISO 27000 series, and government regulations such as Sarbanes-Oxley, HIPAA, GLBA, and FISMA.

Sentinel extends its compliance monitoring capability by integrating seamlessly with your existing security management solutions, such as Secure Configuration Manager (SCM). Integration with SCM helps you to assess system configurations against regulatory requirements, security best practices, and corporate IT policies to demonstrate compliance and manage information security risk. This integration helps you to view the security and audit information from both Sentinel and SCM in a single interface.

Sentinel is auto-configured to receive SCM events. Ensure that SCM is configured to send events to Sentinel. For more information, see Integrating Secure Configuration Manager with Sentinel in the Secure Configuration Manager User Guide.
