Last updated on: October 31, 2021
Table of Contents
Mandate-based Report generated by CloudView allows you to view the compliance posture of your cloud accounts in terms of the underlying security baseline for the selected Mandates.
Qualys has introduced a new control mapping, where each Cloud Security control is mapped with the granular control objectives. This approach enhances the functionality of the Mandate-based Reporting and helps you understand your compliance against respective mandates.
Qualys CloudView application is extending mandate coverage by introducing new mandates and upgrading versions of the existing ones. These changes are available in CloudView 1.19.0.0 release (Nov 2021).
