Administering Compliance Assessments and Reports

Compliance assessments of a benchmark or profile are comprehensive. With the compliance command, you can administer assessments and reports in the following ways:

• You can list compliance information on the local system and locate assessments and their reports. For more information, see Listing Compliance Information and Locating Assessments and Reports.

• You can assign a default compliance policy for each system, then regularly assess the compliance of each system by using the scheduled method of the compliance:default service. For more information, see Running Assessments at Regular Intervals.

• You can run assessments remotely. For more information, see Running Remote Assessments on One or More Systems.

• You can tag assessments with system-defined keys. You can also tag assessments with keys and values that you create. You can then list for viewing or deletion similarly tagged assessments. For more information, see the Match Parameters section of the compliance(8) man page and About Remote Assessment Features.
