12. Determines whether the computers are compliant with the company’s security policy. Compliant computers are deemed “healthy” Policy Validation Restricts network access to computers based on their health Network Restriction Provides necessary updates to allow the computer to “get healthy.” Once healthy, the network restrictions are removed Remediation Changes to the company’s security policy or to the computers’ health may dynamically result in network restrictions Ongoing Compliance
