MANAGEMENT OF HOST COMPLIANCE EVALUATION
First Claim
1. A method for determining technical compliance of a computer, comprising:
- receiving target compliance information through an interface, the target compliance information including identification information for a business group and evidentiary data corresponding to the business group;
generating a compliance check schedule from user input received through the interface, the compliance check schedule associated with performing a compliance check on a target computer using the target compliance information; and
automatically determining the compliance of the target computer based on the compliance check schedule and the target compliance information.

Abstract
A compliance management system aligns data used to determine technical compliance of a computer system with business groups associated with the computer system. An operator may configure target compliance information, identify target computers to test for compliance, schedule compliance checks and manage ongoing compliance checks through a user interface. After receiving target compliance information and scheduling information, the compliance management system automatically scans the host systems for evidence, determines a state of compliance from the evidence, and may provide reports and other information to an operator. Once the compliance state for a business group is determined, compliance state information can be reported. Compliance state information can be provided in different formats based on the intended recipient of the report.
