Security Compliance generates a Compliance Report to help you assess the security status of Security Agents managed by the Apex One server. Security Compliance generates the report on demand or according to a schedule.

Note:

Apex One only displays compliance reports for Security Agents operating with a full feature set. Coexist agents do not appear in the reports.

The Manual Assessment screen displays the following tabs:

  • Services: Use this tab to check if agent services are functional.

    For details, see Services.

  • Components: Use this tab to check if Security Agents have up-to-date components.

    For details, see Components.

  • Scan Compliance: Use this tab to check if Security Agents are running scans regularly.

    For details, see Scan Compliance.

  • Settings: Use this tab to check if agent settings are consistent with the settings on the server.

    For details, see Settings.

Note:

The Components tab can display Security Agents running the current and earlier versions of the product. The other tabs only display data for Security Agents running the latest version.

Important:
  • Security Compliance queries the connection status of Security Agents before generating a Compliance Report. It includes online and offline agents in the report, but not agents in Independent mode.

  • For role-based user accounts:

    • Each web console user account has a completely independent set of Compliance Report settings. Any changes to a user account's Compliance Report settings will not affect the settings of the other user accounts.

    • The scope of the report depends on the agent domain permissions for the user account. For example, if you grant a user account permissions to manage domains A and B, the user account's reports will only show data from agents belonging to domains A and B.

      For details about user accounts, see Role-based Administration.
