Verify Forescout sends user and/or admin notification of remediation requirements, whether manual or automated. If the NAC does not flag for future manual or automated remediation, devices failing policy assessment that are not automatically remediated either before or during the remote access session, this a finding.

Fix Text (F-36477r605655_fix)
Log on to the Forescout UI. 1. Within the Policy tab, locate the Compliance policies. 2. Within the policy Sub-Rule, ensure all policies that indicate remediation have been configured to notify the user and/or network administrator of required action.
