Set desired compliance by operating system

If you prefer to assign the desired compliance to an operating system, you can set a benchmark and profile for this operating system from the Settings page.

  1. On the Settings page of SCM, click Manage desired compliance.
  2. Click the operating system you want to assign a benchmark and profile to. Any nodes with this operating system that are added have these benchmark and profiles automatically assigned to them.
  3. Choose the CIS Benchmark and profile that you want to assign to the node using the drop-down menus.
  4. If you have created a custom profile, you can set it as the desired compliance by clicking Use an associated custom profile?
  5. Check the check box to assign these settings to all of the selected operating system's current nodes, overriding any individually assigned benchmarks and profiles. Leave this unchecked to keep the individual desired compliance settings for any nodes that already exist on this operating system.
  6. Click Save.
Results
