Job Management Partner 1/Client Security Control Description, User's Guide and Operator's Guide

7.1.1 Inventory information used on a client security control system

Of the inventory information collected by JP1/Software Distribution, a client security control system uses the following software information to judge a client security level:

• Version information for JP1/Software Distribution Client
  This information is necessary for judging the security levels of clients. If this information does not exist, the judgment result of each judgment item will be Unknown.
  
• Information about applied security updates (patches and service packs)
  This is used to check whether or not the latest Windows security update has been applied to a client. For details about the items you can set, see 6.3 Editing a security update judgment policy.
  To check information about unapplied security updates, MBSA or WUA must be set up on the client. For details about setting up MBSA or WUA, see 7.4 Detecting security updates not applied to a client.
  
• Information about anti-virus products
  This is used to check information about the presence of anti-virus product installations, as well as engine versions, and resident statuses. For details about the items you can set, see 6.4 Editing an anti-virus product judgment policy.
  
• Information about installed prohibited software
  This is used to check whether or not software not needed for operations, or software that could cause security holes is installed on a client. For details about the items you can set, see 6.5 Editing a prohibited software judgment policy.
  
• Information about installed mandatory software
  This is used to check whether or not the software used for operations, as well as JP1/Software Distribution, is installed on a client. For details about the items you can set, see 6.6 Editing a mandatory software judgment policy.
  
• Information about PC security settings
  This is used to check whether security-related settings, for example account and password settings, are implemented correctly on a client PC. For details about the items you can set, see 6.7 Editing a PC security setting judgment policy.
  
• Information about user-specific judgment items (judgment items in user definitions)
  This is used to check security information defined by an administrator using the asset information stored in the asset management database, such as whether the client is running a power-saving CPU or whether automatic login is enabled. For details about the judgment items you can set, see 6.8 Editing a user-defined judgment policy.
