Abstract: Automated approval of a non-compliance of a modified configuration of a computer system includes performing a compliance check by a compliance management system. The modified configuration results from deploying a pre-approved modification pattern by a package management system modifying an initial configuration of the computer system. The modification pattern is provided by a software package that specifies at least one modification to be applied to the initial configuration and at least one compliance exception pre-approval specifying pre-approved non-compliances of modifications with compliance rules. Responsive to detecting a non-compliance, the non-compliance is compared with the pre-approved non-compliances. In response to determining that the detected non-compliances are not matching any pre-approved non-compliances, a compliance exception approval is requested. The detected non-compliance is approved in response to receiving the compliance exception approval for the detected non-compliances.

Abstract: The invention relates to a computer-implemented method for automated approval of a non-compliance of a modified configuration of a computer system with one or more compliance rules, the method comprising: receiving by a package management system a pre-approved modification pattern in form of a software package, deploying a modification pattern of the software package and providing compliance exception pre-approvals of the software package to a compliance management system, performing a compliance check of the resulting modified configuration of the computer system, in response to detecting a non-compliance with a compliance rule, comparing the detected non-compliance with the one or more pre-approved non-compliances, in response to a matching of the detected non-compliance with one or more of the respective pre-approved non-compliances, automatically approving the detected non-compliance by the compliance management system.
