Automated Compliance in 3 Easy Steps


Step 1 - Define Policy Filter
Using a familiar Office interface, administrators define policy filters. The policy filter defines what criteria or condition they are looking for within their environment. For example, an administrator could set a policy filter to find all users that have changed their password today.

Step 2 - Define the action to take
The administrator then defines what action to take based on this condition. There are over 20 out of the box actions, ranging from reporting/exporting data, e-mailing end users or managers to taking corrective action to remediate the situation.
In this example, the administrator could define the action to e-mail the end user with a personalized e-mail informing the user their password was changed. This could alert an end user that their account was compromised if they did not initiate the password change.

Step 3 - Automate the process
The administrator then defines the processing interval for this policy, such as once a day/hour. A standard Windows service then monitors and performs this policy on the configured interval.
