n Work flow

1. Security policy setup
   Based on the corporate security policy, the administrator sets the judgment policy (judgment items) and the action policy (actions triggered according to the judgment result).
   
   • Consider what needs to be in the security policy. 4.7 Considerations for security policies
   • Set the security policy. 6. Managing Security Policies
2. Collection of IT asset information
   The IT asset information for a client is collected and centrally managed in the asset management database.
   
3. Security level judgment
   The IT asset information collected in step 2 is checked against the judgment policy set in step 1 to determine the client security level. The security levels of clients are judged one group at a time for the groups defined by the administrator.
   A security level judgment can be triggered in any of three ways: Automatic judgment when inventory information is updated, periodic judgment via Scheduled Tasks in Windows, or judgment by an administrator.
