● Updated all checks with descriptions and metadata aligned to the
latest benchmark standards.
● The Environment Setup task utilizes atomic result refreshes,
ensuring that existing results remain available until new results are
generated. Results now also include a collection timestamp for better
tracking and auditability.
● The Applicability Fixlet verifies that the Environment Setup Task
log file exists, is not older than 90 days, and that the required result
files are present. This ensures that Fixlets are reported as Not Applicable
when the Environment Setup Task has not been executed, and that the
Measured Value (MV) correctly reflects this condition.
● 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.
