The Setup installs two extensions that work in the ePolicy Orchestrator environment: Policy

Auditor 5.2 and Benchmark Editor 5.2.

Policy Auditor 5.2

Policy Auditor 5.2 automates internal and external IT audits. It audits systems by comparing

settings and software to information that describes the desired state of a system. When a

system is audited, Policy Auditor provides a score, rating, and detailed information about how

well the system conforms to its desired state.

You can create custom audits or use standard industry and government audits like

Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) or the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA).

An audit can check system settings such as password length, password complexity, and open

or closed ports. It can also check software for the presence of the latest software updates and

settings for web browsers and Microsoft Office.

You can create audits, schedule when and how often they are run, and view detailed reports

on the current and historical status of your systems. The customizable reporting system provides

quick access to information such as policy audit status, exposure to threats, and overall risk.

You can also create your own reports.

Benchmark Editor 5.2

Benchmark Editor 5.2 is a tool for managing your security benchmarks. Benchmarks are

documents containing an organized set of rules that describe the desired state of a set of

systems. The documents are written in the open-source XML standard format XCCDF (eXtensible

Configuration Checklist Description Format). Rules contain one or more checks that standardize

the three main steps of the assessment process:

• Representing configuration information of systems for testing.
