Practitioner Notes
This enhancement requires you to be able to demonstrate that your systems are configured as intended — you need evidence, not just assertions.
Example 1: Generate weekly SCAP scan reports that show compliance percentages for each STIG benchmark, providing auditors with concrete evidence of configuration conformance.
Example 2: Maintain a configuration compliance dashboard in Splunk or Power BI that shows real-time conformance status across all systems for auditor review.
