Maintaining compliance is not just a matter of policy, it is a matter of operational stability and security. But with so many moving parts, configuration drift is almost inevitable.
The Opslogix Compliance Management Pack helps identify these deviations by continuously verifying key system configurations and alerting when they fall out of alignment.
Features and benefits
1. Identify non-compliant systems across multiple areas
The Opslogix Compliance Management Pack includes a wide range of rules and monitors that track:
- Server uptime and reboot intervals
- Windows Update status
- Run-as accounts for services and scheduled tasks
- Active Directory group membership
These checks help ensure that your systems meet internal- and external compliance requirements. Misconfigurations, whether intentional or accidental, are flagged so that corrective action can be taken.
For example: if a critical server hasn't been restarted for 60 days, or a scheduled task is running under a personal user account instead of a service account, the Management Pack will detect the issue and raise an alert, which helps teams correct the deviation before it leads to larger problems.
2. Focus on what can’t be enforced by policy alone
Group policies and configuration baselines are useful, but not everything can be fully controlled that way. Some problems slip through:
- A user gets added manually to a sensitive AD group
- A developer configures a service to run as their own account
- An update process completes but leaves certain patches unapplied
The Compliance Management Pack is designed to detect what policy alone can’t prevent, closing blind spots that traditional tools might miss.
3. Customizable rules and overrides
The Compliance Management Pack is fully customizable via SCOM overrides.
You can define:- Which update or reboot intervals are acceptable
- Which service or task run-as accounts are allowed
- Which AD groups should have strict membership control
This ensures that the compliance logic aligns with your organization’s actual policies and operational structure.
4. Real-time compliance validation
The Compliance Management Pack is built primarily on discoveries and monitors, offering real-time compliance validation rather than relying on scheduled audits or manual checks.
This means non-compliance can be detected and addressed as soon as it occurs, rather than being discovered weeks later during review cycles.
5. Targetting risk areas
The Management Pack targets practical risk areas, such as:
- Infrequently rebooted servers
- Missing security updates
- AD groups with unauthorized members
- Services using user accounts
- Scheduled tasks running under inappropriate contexts
By focusing on these aspects, the Management Pack helps reduce operational risk.
Summary
The Opslogix Compliance Management Pack helps identifying deviations in real-time by continuously verifying key system configurations and alerting when they fall out of alignment.
