About Host Compliance

Host compliance provides you information on the compliance frameworks, standards, and the targets that are associated with the compliance standard selected in the Compliance Standard Library.

Cloud Control displays the evaluation results and level of compliance of a target against a compliance framework. The Compliance Frameworks evaluation results provide an overview of the state of the framework, the level of compliance (Critical, Warning, or Compliant.) and the criticality of any violations (Critical, Warning, or Minor Warning.) You can view the average score, as a percentage, and the Author.

When Compliance Framework errors are detected, the following information is available:

  • Root Compliance Standard

  • Root Compliance Standard State

  • Parent Compliance Standard

  • Rule

  • Root Target Information

  • Target Information

  • Error Date

  • Error Message
