IT Policy Compliance

IT compliance test can be performed across systems by configuring a compliance baseline rule which involves all the device parameters that SapphireIMS collects at the time of data collection. The parameter includes inventory fields, asset fields, service patches and service packs. The rule clearly states what the selected systems should be compliant for. The systems not matching with the configured rule are shown as non complaint systems. This helps in giving a quick regulatory compliance report.

To test the devices, software and service patches for IT Policy compliance, configure the compliance baseline rule as explained.

Click the 'Settings' tab. In the 'Asset and Inventory Management section, click 'Compliance'
