Key Principles

1. Policy Definition: A policy a collection of rules, giving you complete control over how compliance is defined.

2. Policy-Based Rules: The rules, and how they are applied, are defined in an easy-to-edit custom rConfig Policy file, making the system flexible and customizable to your needs.

3. In-App Help: Detailed help is available directly in the app, guiding you through the process of designing and implementing your own rules.

Scheduled Tasks and Manual Checks

Compliance jobs can be configured in Scheduled Tasks, allowing for manual runs via the UI or automatic checks at specified intervals.

Step-by-Step:

1. Write your Policy Definition.
2. Create a Policy Assignment.
3. Set up a Scheduled Task to run compliance checks at your preferred times.

No Direct Device Connection

The compliance engine checks the latest downloaded config from your devices but never connects directly to them. This ensures the system remains secure while performing compliance checks on the most recent configuration data.
