.In subscriptions with the compliance module enabled, users can launch compliance scans to identify whether hosts are compliant with user-defined policies. Before you can launch a compliance scan, a compliance profile must be available on the option profiles list in your account. The service does not provide a default compliance profile. A Manager or another user with compliance management privileges can create a compliance profile. Once created, the profile is available when launching and scheduling compliance scans.
All Managers have privileges to create compliance profiles and make them globally available to users in the subscription. Unit Managers and Scanners who have been granted compliance management privileges can also create compliance profiles. Unit Managers can make compliance profiles globally available to users in their business unit.
1. Select Option Profiles from the left menu, under Tools.
2. Go to New > Compliance Profile.
3. Specify settings in the following sections.
• Compliance Profile Title. Provide a title for the compliance profile. Managers and Unit Managers can also specify whether the profile should be globally available. Initially, the user who creates the profile is the owner of the profile. Managers and Unit Managers can edit the profile after it is saved to change the owner.
• Settings. Set scan configuration options that affect how the service gathers information about target hosts and how the service performs compliance assessment. For example, configure performance options for scanning your network, and identify which ports should be scanned on target hosts.
