Security Compliance Management toolkit
The Security Compliance Management toolkit provides customers with best practices from Microsoft about how to plan, set, get and remediate a security baseline, along with tools that you can use to verify the implementation of recommended security baselines from Microsoft for Windows Vista, Windows XP SP2, and Windows Server 2003 SP2. The toolkit helps customers quickly and easily provide this compliance information to auditors to demonstrate how their organization is meeting important compliance regulations.
The toolkit helps customers manage the compliance process by enabling:
-
Automated security checks in their environment.
-
Verification of security baseline in their environment, and identification of baseline settings changes or “drift” from prescribed values.
-
Implement regulatory compliance through security checks.
The current status of this toolkit is Beta, and could be downloaded here.
