Tell me about Mandate Based Reports

Launch the Mandate Based Report to view the compliance posture of the organization in terms of the underlying Security baseline against selected Mandates. This allows you to choose any mandates/standards you have to comply with (or even the sub-requirements from multiple mandates to create a Union of the total requirements) and get a view of compliance posture in terms of their selected policies.

Choose your local time zone (GMT shift and location) and if your time zone observes DST, the "Auto adjust during Daylight Saving Time" option is selected by default.
