What type of scans can Copado Compliance Hub perform?

Copado Compliance Hub is designed to enhance security and governance by performing passive scans that run behind the scenes. This means that the scans continuously evaluate the environment without actively interfering with the ongoing operations. Such passive scanning methods allow organizations to maintain a constant watch over their compliance and security status, identifying vulnerabilities and potential issues in real time without causing disruption.

The focus on passive scanning is particularly beneficial for organizations that require continuous monitoring and want to avoid the overhead or risks associated with more invasive active scans. As a result, passive scans can quickly identify any compliance violations or security risks, enabling IT teams to take corrective actions in a timely manner, which is a critical aspect of maintaining a robust compliance posture.

In contrast, physical environment scans may focus on tangible assets and their state but do not align with the core functionalities of the Compliance Hub, which emphasizes digital environments. Scheduled scans during off-hours may not provide the 24/7 oversight that passive scans allow. Finally, custom scans defined by IT departments, while useful in certain contexts, do not represent the systematic and automatic nature of the passive scans supported by the Compliance Hub.
