Policy Status Tile

 The 'Policy Status' tile displays the status of endpoints compliance with their assigned CIS security policy.

The specifics of each policy manage the settings in the Comodo Internet Security software installed on an endpoint. Policies can be created in a number of ways – including importing directly from an existing configuration of CIS on a specific endpoint. Once imported, policies can be quickly rolled out to other endpoints or groups of endpoints. A policy can be applied to a machine that is in either 'Remote Mode' or 'Local Mode'. If the endpoint is in 'Remote Mode' then policy non-compliance is 'auto-corrected' by ESM as soon as it is detected (it will push the correct policy back onto the machine). If the endpoint is in 'Local Mode' then it will retain non-compliant status until the administrator switches to remote mode.

The Policy Status tile can be configured to display the number of endpoints that are 'Compliant', 'Non-compliant', 'Pending (analysis)' or can show all types.  

• Clicking the 'Policy Status' tile will open the 'View All Computers' interface with 'Non-Compliant' category preselected, which shows the details of endpoints that are Non-Complaint.

• To switch the endpoints from non-complaint status complaint status, please use one of the following methods:

• Click any of the Policy Status tile in the dashboard to open the 'View All Computers' screen.

OR

• Click 'computers' from the top menu, select the 'view' tile to open the 'View All Computers' screen.

• Select 'Non-Complaint' category from the left side pane and in the right side a list of Non-Complaint' endpoints will be displayed.

• Click the 'reapply current policy' icons under the 'policy' column for the endpoints that you want to be 'Complaint.

• If you wish to view the specific reasons that an endpoint fell out of compliance, please run a ‘Policy Delta’ report.
  

• Policies are discussed in more detail in the 'Policies' chapter. Click the following links to go to the section you would like help with:
