Details:

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.
Improved 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.
