Description
NIST-validated SCAP XML documents are provided from several possible sources such as DISA, NIST, and the other nongovernment entities. These documents are used as the basis of compliance definitions leveraged to automate compliance auditing of systems. These documents are updated on different frequencies and must be manually downloaded on regular intervals and imported to be current. Nonapproved SCAP definitions lead to a false sense of security when evaluating an enterprise environment.
