Products

• Control Compliance Suite Windows

Issue/Introduction

• Enhancement in offline data collection on Windows agent

• You may have several use-cases where some Control Compliance Suite agents do not have connectivity with any other Control Compliance Suite components due to network outage. But you still need to assess the asset compliance. In a DMZ (demilitarized zone) setup, which is almost never accessible, the endpoints within that setup may still need to be assessed. You need to collect data from such agent-based servers and endpoints to demonstrate compliance to your auditors. Offline data collection support for Control Compliance Suite agents helps you achieve these use-cases
• With this Quick Fix (QF), offline data collection support for a Windows agent is also available. This means, after you install this QF, you can choose to collect data from a Windows agent that does not have connectivity with a Control Compliance Suite Manager or any other Control Compliance Suite component.
