Patent number: 9843605Abstract: A method and system for improving deployment of a security compliance framework is provided. The method includes deploying a data store that includes an authoritative source of information comprising configuration and operational management requirements associated with IT devices. A component comprising an interface for an authoritative source configured to provide authentication and authorization for access to servers of the IT devices is deployed and configured to enable authentication and privilege management for access to deployed and configured authoritative source components. An API interface and compliance framework management components are deployed and configured and message transfer agent API endpoint components of the compliance framework are identified. In response, operation of the compliance framework is enabled with respect to the data store, the authoritative source components, the API interface, the compliance framework management components, and the API endpoint components.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2017Date of Patent: December 12, 2017Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Rick A.
