        ControlUp for Compliance (also known as Secure DX) detects and remediates compliance issues such as missing application/OS patches and unsecure OS settings. You can use our Compliance app to ensure that devices in your organization are in compliance with your security standards to help protect your organization from a cyber attack.

        To detect compliance issues, you create Templates that scan devices for a specific set of issues on a regular interval. You can configure a Template to automatically remediate issues once detected, or you can manually initiate the remediation later. Use the various dashboards in ControlUp for Compliance to see detected issues, how many devices are affected, and track the remediation status.

        The app also calculates security scores for issues, devices, apps, and users to indicate the level of security risk. Security scores let you quickly identify the highest security risks to your environment and prioritize remediation.

        Prerequisites

        • Your ControlUp organization must be licensed for ControlUp for Compliance.

        Warning

        ControlUp for Compliance can simulate security threats to test if they are detected and blocked by your security controls. It is important that you notify your security team before performing these security checks. Learn more.

        Network requirements

        Devices must have access to:

        All application patch downloads are routed through our CDN reverse proxy (securedx-cdn.controlup.com). If you disable the CDN reverse proxy in your Agent settings, then devices must have unrestricted outbound HTTPS access to the internet to download patches from application vendor websites/CDNs.
