configuration checks that evaluate the security settings of your Windows 
Server 2016 (Standard Edition) endpoints according to the PCI DSS 
standard.

PCI Add-on library, this checklist includes checks with:
Corresponding analyses properties to report actual values.

customization for compliance evaluation. 
Some of the checks also support remediation that allows BigFix operators 
to efficiently remediate a non-compliance issue with a single action.
