●      Both analysis and remediation checks are included

●      Some of the checks allow you to use the parameterized setting to
enable customization for compliance evaluation. Note that parameterization
and remediation actions require the creation of a custom site.

●      Some of the checks allow you to use the parameterized setting to
enable customization for compliance evaluation. Note that parameterization
and remediation actions require the creation of a custom site.

●      Improved a few checks by adding the pending restart feature to them.
The pending restart feature works in the following ways:

●      The action results will show “Pending Restart” instead of “Fixed”
for those checks which requires OS reboot.

●      The check will show relevant for those endpoints until they are
rebooted.

●      Post reboot of the endpoint the action results will show as “Fixed”,
and the check will be compliant.
