Details:
The IBM BigFix Compliance PCI Add-on team is pleased to announce the 
availability of the new checklist for IBM BigFix Compliance PCI Add-on: 
PCI DSS Checklist for Windows 10.
This new checklist is based on the guidance provided by the Payment Card 
Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) v3.2 and contains security 
configuration checks that evaluate the security settings of your Windows 
10 endpoints according to the PCI DSS standard. As with most of the 
existing PCI DSS contents in the IBM BigFix Compliance PCI Add-on library, 
the checks contained in the checklist include a corresponding analysis 
property to report actual values, as well as steps for manual remediation 
in the check description.
Some of the checks allow you to use the parameterized setting to enable 
customization for compliance evaluation. Note that parameterization 
requires the creation of a custom site.
