Hardware Compliance Score Sync
What is it?
Hardware Compliance Score Sync automates the tracking of device compliance status by integrating with Mobile Device Management (MDM) solutions, specifically Microsoft Intune. Regular synchronization ensures your hardware asset inventory always reflects current compliance statuses, including MFA status, password security, and OS version.
How it works?
1. Go to the Kertos Platform and click on the Tab “Integrations”. Select here the Microsoft Intunes Integration.
2. Setup the integration adhering to our Integration Guide following this page.
3. Go to the Kertos Platform and click on the Tab “Assets”. Select here the Category "Hardware".
4. All the synced Hardware Devices will be displayed in the Asset Inventory under "Discovered". Please move them to Active by clicking on the Button "Set to Active"
5. All the synced Hardware Devices will be displayed in the Asset Inventory under "Active".
6. You can now see that Computers have a "Compliance Status". Only manual added devices per default have the status "Not Applicable", automatically synced devices display the status either "Compliant" or "Not Compliant".
7. Clicking on a specific Hardware Device in the Asset Inventory redirects you to the Detail Page. Here you can also see a short description in the section "Compliance Status", detailing why a specific Hardware Device has a not compliant status.
8. Every device holder of a not compliant hardware asset receives a Task assigned. You can find the Task in the Kertos Platform by clicking on the Tab “Tasks”. The above shown task is a exemplary task that shows what exactly the user needs to do to bring the device back into a compliant status again.
What are the limitations?
- Kertos does not sync mobile devices such as iOS or Android. The current MDM Provider such as Intune do not support this.
- Kertos can only assess compliance based on the defined configuration policies in the MDM provider such as Intune. The Status "Compliant"/"Not Compliant" depend on the configured settings there.
