Q. Does the Executive Summary Report only include Device Summary pie charts?
A. No. The Executive Summary Report actually includes three pages of information. Use the
page advance at the top of the page to view the additional information. The additional reports
are Assessment Risk (by Devices), Assessment Risk (Policy Items), and Risk
Summary.
Q. On the Risk Summary page of the Executive Summary Report how is the Worst
Case Risk total calculated?
A. The policy used in an assessment includes enabled settings with a user assigned severity. The
severity choices are high, medium, or low risk. The calculation of Worst Case risk is the total
number of “like” severity settings in the policy, multiplied by the number of devices assessed and
multiplied again by the specific risk factor multiplier. For example; a policy might have 3 high
risk settings and the policy will be used to assess 3 devices. This is a potential for 9 high risk
settings to be assessed as out-of-compliance with the policy applied. Utilizing the risk factor
multiplier of 10 calculates to be a worst case risk of 90.
Q. Can I save reports?
A. Yes, reports can be saved as a Word or PDF file and archived for historical purposes.
Q. Can I generate a report from a previous period of time?
A. The Devices Assessed Summary Report and the Devices Remediated Summary
Report are the only reports that provide historical data. By executing these reports and selecting
an entry from the Details or Last Remediated column, you will see the policy item, the old
value, the new value, time stamp, and the policy used during the assessment and/or remediation.
Q. My reports always provide information for all devices. How can I produce
reports on a filtered set of devices?
A. From the Reports tab, you can filter devices by selecting a specific group from the Reports,
Executive Summary, and Detailed Reports selections in the left-hand navigation menu. By
selecting any of these report options, you will see a Select Group option on the toolbar. Use the
Select Group option to filter devices before generating a report.
Q. Why is the Remediated Summary Report important?
A. Even though IPSC is designed to automatically provide device security assessment and
remediation in the background, you might want to know of any remediation patterns that exist in
your environment. You might notice a pattern in the Remediated Summary Report that shows a
specific device being remediated daily or quite frequently. This pattern would prompt
investigation as to why that particular device’s security settings are changing and frequently
requiring remediation.
