ℹ️ Check
Ask the operator if DoD-approved SCAP compliance checking software is installed and run on a periodic basis. If DoD-approved SCAP compliance checking software is not installed and/or not run on a periodic basis, this is a finding.

✔️ Fix
Install, configure, and run DoD-approved SCAP compliance checking software on a periodic basis. Review the output of the software and document any out-of-compliance issues.
