Compliance checks

You must have permissions to access the Compliance Check Editor. To obtain these permissions, contact your SA administrator or see the SA 10.51 Administer section for more information.

The Compliance Check Editor allows you to browse, regroup, and edit property information (metadata) about your core’s BSA Essentials Subscription Services compliance checks.

For example, your organization might require that an external numbering system be associated with all compliance checks that you run against servers in your data center. Using the Compliance Check Editor, you can add an external ID to those checks. You can also create custom groupings for checks you modify with this external ID, so that when you need to access those checks, you can easily find them in the custom folder. This external ID can also be used as search criteria for finding all checks with the ID number or string.

You can also edit information about custom check, such as changing a check's name, adding a custom security level, or modifying descriptive information about a check. For example, you can add to a check’s remediation description to clarify what happens during remediation. This provides valuable information about its behavior for someone else who wants to use the check.
