A device may include an interface to send policy information to an evaluation module, where the policy information is related to a group of policies, and receive a group of results from the evaluation module, where the group of results indicates whether the status of a source device complies with the croup of policies. The interface may send an instruction to a destination device configured to implement at least a subset of the policies with respect to the source device based on the instruction.
