Policy Compliance Score & Summary

The policy compliance score and summary report illustrates the compliance score for devices as evaluated by policies. Graphical information may also be extracted in the presence of a compliance score. The compliance score is indicative of the "health" of a network from a compliance perspective. The score is determined using the weight of the compliance policies, and can be calculated at a network or device realm basis. The Compliance Score also takes into consideration the number of Not Assessed devices, as this may indicate a problem with the coverage of a policy. Realm name, policies, device name and VTMOS are the report criteria available to configure this report.
