Qualys Policy Compliance

Qualys Policy Compliance is an automated governance, risk, and compliance management solution designed to assess, audit, and enforce technical security configurations across global enterprise IT infrastructure. Built on the Qualys Cloud Platform, it evaluates servers, network devices, databases, and endpoints against thousands of industry-standard security baselines, including CIS Benchmarks, DISA STIGs, and regulatory mandates such as HIPAA, PCI DSS, and ISO 27001.

The service deploys across on-premises enterprise data centers, hybrid cloud environments, and remote endpoint fleets using Qualys Cloud Agents and agentless network scanners. It integrates directly with Configuration Management Databases, IT ticketing platforms, and enterprise GRC consoles to provide auditable evidence and automate workflow assignments for configuration drift remediation. Key organizational use cases include verifying continuous adherence to CIS configuration benchmarks, automating technical audit reporting, identifying insecure default credentials and port configurations, and monitoring security drift across hybrid servers.

Through real-time policy scoring and prescriptive remediation instructions, Qualys Policy Compliance empowers security and compliance teams to maintain hardened systems and pass rigorous audits with minimal manual preparation. Automated reporting dashboards give executives clear visibility into overall compliance percentages while providing system administrators with the technical details necessary to resolve non-compliant settings. The platform improves enterprise system hardening, reduces audit fatigue, and ensures continuous security governance.
