FDCC Solutions

Obviously, it is the goal of every Agency to be 100% compliant with FDCC specifications. However, OMB and NIST understand that 100% compliance will be an impossible achievement for most agencies and have made provision for exceptions. The problem now is to create policies, test them, determine valid exceptions and then create and maintain a myriad of new policies to handle those exceptions.

Desktop Authority 7.8 has been tested and is compliant with the OMB security requirements for FDCC compatibility for Microsoft Windows and XP and Vista.

ScriptLogic’s approach to helping government agencies achieve FDCC compliance is focused on executing the "Heavy Lifting"—automating much of the configuration process, providing for a controlled roll-out of updated settings without bringing down any mission critical applications, and then maintaining a compliant configuration. This is accomplished using Desktop Authority.

Using Desktop Authority, NIST policy updates can be automatically applied, and our comprehensive lifecycle management tools can be utilized to continually update and maintain compliance. Thus, by utilizing Desktop Authority, Agencies can be proactive in assuring their configuration will pass FDCC validation, and that all known and approved exceptions will be proactively monitored and maintained.
