We use QualysGuard Policy Compliance for VMDR (Vulnerability Management, Detection and Response). We can use the solution to detect, block, and mitigate vulnerabilities.
Policy Compliance pretty much has just one use case, and that is to compare or assess the security hardening of a typical operating system or platform or, in some cases, an application against predefined or customized security best practices. For example, if we are running Windows PCs and servers, an organization could say we are going to follow Microsoft's best practices for security configuration, including how to harden Windows computers. We would basically load the Qualys policy compliance module with those best practices and agree on the list with the customer. Then Qualys simply does the rest. It basically verifies for each individual check if it is actually in place or not.
IT Governance solutions refer to a set of practices, processes, and tools designed to ensure effective management and control of IT resources within an organization.
