Predefined standards for ESM

The predefined standards are the standards that are installed along with the product. The predefined standards are present in the predefined folder in the tree pane. These standards are not editable.

Each check expression in a standard is mapped to an ESM policy. You can also map multiple checks of an ESM policy to one CCS standard. The checks that a predefined standard contains map to only one ESM policy. However, in customized standards, you can map each check to different CCS standards.

Note:

You cannot edit a predefined standard. You can copy the predefined standards and then customize them as per your requirement.

See Copying and pasting a standard.

Table: CCS standard to ESM policy mapping contains the following information:

The name of the predefined CCS standards.
The corresponding ESM policies, which contain the checks that map to each CCS standard.
The location of the policy installer.
