Policy Compliance
The Policy Compliance Dashboard in SP360 offers visibility into how well your environment aligns with a broad range of IT compliance standards. This view helps you assess compliance performance across key controls and assets in real time.
SP360 currently supports 28 industry-recognized audit standards (referred to as policies), including SOC2, CMMC Level 1v2, and CCPA, among others. These examples are provided for reference only – each organization will typically select a custom subset of policies relevant to its regulatory or business requirements. Click here to view the complete list of supported standards.
This module is available as an add-on, extra-cost feature and can be enabled for subscribed users to support audit readiness and regulatory adherence.
Filtering Chart Content
For ease of use, the dashboard has a dropdown filter and options/buttons at the top of the dashboard that can be used to filter the chart information by compliance standard or standards. In addition, the last section of the dashboard (i.e., the Host Asset list) allows you to include or exclude the Host Assets that contribute to the compliance data.
Options/Buttons | Descriptions |
---|---|
Policy Dropdown Filter |
From this dropdown you can select the specific IT compliance standard(s) within your organization’s configured scope. At the time of purchase, each organization designates which compliance policies are relevant to them. Only those pre-configured policies will appear in this dropdown menu. The examples listed below are for demonstration purposes only.
|
Severity | From this drop-down you can select one or more severities of interest to alter the charts accordingly. The severity of each finding (which will either Pass or Fail) is classified as either Urgent, Critical, Serious, Medium, or Minimal. |
Duration | Using this control, you can establish the time-period the chart covers. The available options are 4 weeks, 3 months, 6 months or 1 year. |
Interval | Using this control, you can establish the period of time each data point represents. The available intervals are 1 week, 4 weeks, 3 months, 6 months or 1 year. This option allows you to view the trending over the desired time periods; for example, month-over-month, or quarter-over-quarter. |
To view the Finding (Pass/Fail) counts for each interval in all the charts you can use this toggle button. This removes the need to hover over the chart. |
The Policy Compliance dashboard provides information in two sections:
- Compliance Trending History
- Current Findings Status
Compliance Trending History
The Compliance Trending History provides a historical view of your policy compliance over time. The data is displayed in charts (as shown above) and segmented with a separate chart for:
- Findings – Total number of compliance checks (both passed and failed) across the selected time period. Note that for a fixed number of assets and a static list of policies, the number of findings will never change, only the number that have passed or failed.
- Assets – Displays how many Cloud Agent assets were evaluated in the selected timeframe. It is important to know how many assets are being evaluated, and which those are. An increase or decrease in the number of assets will impact the number of findings.
- Compliance Score – A percentage metric representing your overall policy adherence rate (i.e., number of findings that have passed divided by total number of findings).
Current Findings Status
This section summarizes the current compliance posture utilizing the following charts:
- Compliance Pie Chart – Visual representation of all evaluated findings, divided into “Passed” and “Failed.”
- Findings by Severity – Stacked bar chart showing pass/fail counts across each severity level.
-
Top Failing (Group by Findings) – A tabular list grouped by individual Control Identifiers (CIDs). This will help you focus on the types of findings that fail most often. Each entry shows:
- CID – Control Identifier (clickable). When clicked, you will “drill down” to the Policy Compliance Findings page for that set of failed Findings.
- Name – Control description, that is, a description of the control (check) that failed.
- Severity – Severity level (Urgent, Critical, etc.)
- Failed/Passed – Number of failed and passed evaluations (clickable). Also drills to the Policy Compliance page for the set of failed Findings.
- Compliance – Percentage pass/fail rate for the control.
- Top Failing (Group by Technologies) – Highlights technologies with the highest concentration of failed controls (e.g., Windows 11, Edge Chromium). Again, this allows you to focus on the technologies within your organization with the most issues.
- Top Failing (Group by Categories) – Lists common policy areas or control domains with recurring failures (e.g., OS Security Settings, Encryption).
Each table provides detailed compliance rates within its group to help identify systemic gaps.
Host Assets List
This sub-section of the dashboard lists all scanned Cloud Agent assets and their compliance breakdown. To better understand the operational details, let’s break down the key features this sub-section offers.
The upper left corner of the Host Assets List contains a blue box with the number of assets meeting your selection criteria.
- You can select the checkboxes on the far left to filter the data to display only assets you are interested in. As the boxes are checked, a “Selected” counter appears and is updated, and the graph icon
becomes active. The dashboard will not reflect the changes until the graph icon is clicked.
- Selections are retained across page scrolls, ensuring that any assets you select remain checked as you navigate through the list. To return to the default state, click the
icon.
Filtering Options, Action Icons, and Summary Bar
To the right of the asset count, the Host Asset List offers two dropdown filters and three action icons.
Filtering Options
The two filtering options allow you to select which assets to display based on the following attributes.
Options/Buttons | Descriptions |

Policy Dropdown Filter |
From this dropdown you can select the specific IT compliance standard(s) within your organization’s configured scope.
