Configure Compliance Options

Required User Role: Administrator or organizational user with appropriate permissions. For more information, see User Roles.

You can configure compliance options within a scan policy to reference one or more audit files in a template-based Policy Compliance Auditing scan policy or a custom scan policy.

For more information, see Audit Files, Scan Policies, and Scan Policy Options.

Note: The maximum number of audit files you can include in a single Policy Compliance Auditing scan is limited by the total runtime and memory that the audit files require. Exceeding this limit may lead to incomplete or failed scan results. To limit the possible impact, Tenable recommends that audit selection in your scan policies be targeted and specific for the scan's scope and compliance requirements.

To configure compliance options for a scan policy:

  1. Begin configuring a scan policy, as described in Add a Scan Policy.

  2. In the left navigation bar, click Compliance.

    The Compliance options appear.

  3. Click + Add Audit File.

    The Select a Type drop-down box appears.

  4. In the Select a Type drop-down box, select the type of audit file you want to reference in the scan policy.

    The Select an Audit File drop-down box appears.

  5. In the Select an Audit File drop-down box, select the name of the audit file you want to reference in the scan policy.

  6. Click the apply button.

    Tenable Security Center applies the audit file to the scan policy.

  7. If required, configure additional options for the audit file you applied to the scan policy. For more information, see The Compliance tab specifies compliance the audit files to reference in a scan policy. The options available depend on the type of audit file selected..
