Understanding Compliance for PeopleSoft Application Management Plug-in

The Oracle Environment Management Compliance Management solution provides the capability to define, customize, and manage Compliance Frameworks and Compliance Standards. It also provides the tools to evaluate targets and systems for compliance with business best practices in terms of configuration, security, storage, and so on.

The compliance solution

• Automatically determines if targets and systems have valid configuration settings.

• Automatically determines if targets and systems are exposed to configuration-related vulnerabilities.

• Advises how to change configuration to bring targets and systems into compliance with respect to best practices.

• Provides real-time monitoring of a target’s files, process, users, Windows registry entries, and more to let EM users know where configuration change is taking place in their environment.

• Determines if real-time detected configuration changes were authorized by open change management requests. Violations are created when an action is determined to be unauthorized.

• Provides out-of-box Compliance Frameworks (PCI, CIS, for example) and compliance standards to map to Compliance Standard Rules. This mapping makes it possible to visualize how out of compliance settings and actions will affect any compliance framework an organization follows.
