Symantec Enterprise Security Manager™ regulatory policies are based on industry regulations and standards and are intended to ease the burden of effective security policy development. These preconfigured policies provide prepackaged Symantec security research that assess compliance with each supported regulation or standard's minimum requirements.
The OS-specific regulatory policies are available to maintenance paying Symantec ESM customers for no additional charge.
Regulatory policies are preconfigured to target specific OS platforms. These policies use preconfigured values, name lists, templates, and word files that directly apply to the targeted platforms. Regulatory policies use the modules and templates from Symantec ESM Security Update releases to check OS patches, password settings, and other vulnerabilities and exposures on the targeted operating system. These policies may also introduce new templates and word lists to check conditions required by the supported standard or regulation.
