Compliance Rules

Presentation

The Compliance Rules is a feature which allows you to make your your devices are compliant with the rules you set. This feature is very broad and you can check the:

• Hardware compliance (ram, HDD, etc...)
• Software compliance (app versions, app presence etc...)
• System compliance (Bios versions, date etc...)
• Security compliance (antivirus activated, QFE etc...)
• etc...

Each rule's compliance result is displayed in a very clear way as a mini dashboard.

This menu allows you to create  compliance templates for your devices groups. These templates are a list of  properties that your devices must follow to be tagged as compliant. The  compliancy of a device is renewed every time its inventory is refreshed.
