Compliance-as-Code in IT Asset Configuration Management for Better Security and Seamless Audits

Compliance Automation Across Heterogeneous IT Resource Fleet

Chef Desktop Compliance is an automation solution that helps manage configuration changes while ensuring security and compliance across the entire IT resource fleet of desktops, laptops, and kiosks centrally. Managing security and compliance through traditional approaches is nearly impossible, with few opportunities to enforce policy consistently, inefficient and ineffective audits, and no easy way to gauge risk. With Chef, use the compliance-as-code approach to codify your fleet’s security and compliance needs, run continuous audits, and remediates issues, all through automation.

Continuous Compliance Through Continuous Audit

Define configuration, security, and compliance policies through code and monitor the deviations from the intended state with Chef’s Desktop Compliance. Ensure endpoints are provisioned faster with automated configuration management and conform to strong compliance and security standards.

Automated Handling of Drifts and
Waivers

Automatically remediate drifts and apply waivers with predefined policies. Rule-based automated ‘don’t assume but verify’ approach always maintains security and offers flexibility to apply customized rules for different endpoints or users. Minimize human intervention through continuous automated audits based on built-in CIS and STIG benchmarked content.
