How does Tanium help with compliance regulations?

Tanium assists with compliance regulations primarily by providing real-time visibility into endpoints. This capability is crucial as it enables organizations to continuously monitor their systems and devices to ensure they meet specific compliance standards. With real-time data, administrators can quickly identify vulnerabilities, unauthorized software, or deviations from security policies across all endpoints. This visibility supports proactive compliance management, allowing organizations to address issues promptly before they escalate into compliance failures or security incidents.

In contrast, while automating software updates and disabling non-compliant applications are important operational tasks, they are more about maintaining system integrity and overall security posture rather than directly addressing compliance regulations. Enforcing user policy settings can contribute to compliance, but it primarily focuses on controlling user behavior rather than providing a comprehensive view of compliance status. Therefore, real-time visibility is the most critical feature that directly impacts compliance assurance.
