Control Compliance Suite (CCS) consists of several main components.
The following is the list of components with a brief description:
Control Compliance Suite Application Server |
The CCS Application Server is responsible for all job executions, work flow, and schedules. |
Control Compliance Suite Directory Server |
The CCS Directory Server hosts the CCS directory, the Management Service, the Directory Support Service, and the Certificate Management Console. |
Control Compliance Suite Directory |
The CCS directory stores asset data, user rights and preferences, and information about jobs. |
Control Compliance Suite Console |
The CCS console is the primary user interface component that makes data requests and expects data responses. |
Data Processing Service (DPS) |
A single service that plays multiple roles in CCS. The roles include the DPS Collector, the DPS Evaluator, the DPS Load Balancer, and the DPS Reporter. See About the Control Compliance Suite Data Processing Service. |
Management Service |
The Management Service is a Certificate Authority service that is responsible to generate, manage, and sign certificates. |
Web portal |
The Web portal is used to distribute policy notifications, to approve entitlements, to request exceptions, and to view reports. |
