About the regulatory policies

Regulatory policies are based on governmental mandates. You can use the policies to assess compliance to the requirements of each supported regulation.

Regulatory policies include the following:

Preconfigured values.
Name lists.
Templates.
Word files that directly apply to the targeted operating system or the application.

The policies use the modules and templates from Symantec ESM Security Update releases to check: OS patches, password settings, and other vulnerabilities and exposures on the targeted operating system. These policies may also introduce new templates and word lists to check conditions as required by the regulation.
