Start Scanning for SCAP Compliance
Scan your systems for SCAP compliance.
A few things to consider...
Have you thought about which hosts you want to scan and which options you want to use? We can help you sort this out quickly - review the basics for some ideas.
Got your policies ready?
Add SCAP policies to test againstAdd SCAP policies to test against
You need a SCAP policy to evaluate hosts for SCAP compliance. Each time you launch a SCAP scan you'll select a policy that you want to test against. We recommend you add one or more policies now.
How do I add a policy? You can import a policy from our library, or create your own. Go to Policies > New. Learn more
I am ready to start my scan. What are the steps?
It is simple to start your scan. Go to Scans > SCAP Scans > New > Scan (or Schedule Scan), and tell us:
- IPs to scan
- Scan options to use
- SCAP policy to test against
- Which scanner appliance is right for the job. Ensure it is enabled for SCAP scanning
Choosing an option profileChoosing an option profile
A compliance option profile is a set of scan configuration settings used for compliance scans. We recommend you select the profile Initial PC Options to get started. By creating your own profile, you can fine tune settings.

Check out your scan resultsCheck out your scan results
How do I know when the scan is done? You are able to know when the scan status shows Finished. At this time you can select View from the Quick Actions menu to see the full results in an HTML report. If you have notifications turned on you get an email.
When can I run reports? We merge (process) your scan
results into your account. Watch for the solid green circle
to know the
results are processed. Then you are ready to create reports
based on the most recent scan findings.
