The Elemental Compliance System provides enterprises with unified visibility and control of all machines on their networks, enabling them to satisfy internal and regulatory compliance requirements and improve security. The solution unifies policy management, host configuration and network access control. Enterprises can express cross-platform security policies that affect individual computers and their behavior on the network, gather meaningful up-to-date information to compare to established metrics, and selectively enforce policies across a diverse, dynamic environment. Dynamic host groupings are derived from a large number of attributes that describe in detail the configuration and activity of machines. As individual machines change configuration or behavior, the dynamic grouping mechanism automatically assigns them into groups based on their attributes or behavior, and immediately assigns them the policies for those groups
