Abstract: Described are computer-based methods and apparatuses, including computer program products, for a platform verification portal. A plurality of configuration items are stored with each comprising a plurality of verification commands capable of being executed by a verification scanning engine executing a verification scan on a target server to compare a set of actual software or configuration settings of the software against a desired software stack. A plurality of configuration item rules is stored. Execution of one or more verification scanning engines across a selected set of target servers is remotely initiated. A request for configuration items is received from each of the target servers. For each of the target servers a set of configuration items applicable to the target server is dynamically selected. For each of the target servers, a list identifying the set of configuration items is transmitted to the target server for execution by the verification scanning engine.
