Take Control of Configuration Compliance

IT departments face a variety of configuration challenges – securing PCs to comply with regulatory measures, configuring PCs to meet corporate desktop standards, and implementing PC power management to cut energy costs and support sustainability initiatives to name a few. Policy Commander delivers the flexibility and automated Windows configuration management technologies IT departments need to meet their configuration compliance challenges.

Automated Enforcement

Policy Commander is powered by innovative configuration management technologies like SmartUpdate™ and PwrSmart™ that automatically monitor and enforce PC configuration policies. We deliver comprehensive libraries of customizable policies to fit the unique configuration and compliance requirements of your organization. Policy Commander deploys PC policies with pinpoint accuracy – in a fraction of the time it takes to configure systems manually.

Instant Insight

Policy Commander actively monitors Windows computers to deliver real-time insight into their configuration states. With its administrative dashboard, you can get an instant snapshot of the current state of configuration compliance for all of your managed systems. You can even have Policy Commander notify an administrator the moment a system becomes non-compliant. And Policy Commander delivers the detailed reports like compliance history and audit trails needed to satisfy management and auditors alike.

Comprehensive Content

Policy Commander delivers a growing knowledge base of dynamic policies developed by New Boundary Technologies based on policy templates from Microsoft and organizations like NIST, NSA, and EPA. Our policy knowledge base delivers the configuration policies you need for a variety of jobs – standardizing desktops, meeting the IT security requirements of regulations like HIPAA, GLBA, and PCI, and proactively managing PC power consumption. Use the policies as they are, or use the integrated Policy Editor to create your own policies and customize existing ones.

Complete Compliance

Policy Commander actively monitors managed systems to ensure compliance with their assigned policies. And if a computer drifts out of compliance, Policy Commander can automatically reconfigure the system to its approved state. With Policy Commander, you can create a set-and-forget, self-maintaining configuration compliance environment.  Policy Commander is the proactive configuration management solution for today’s – and tomorrow’s – dynamic compliance environments.

Threats to your business can come from inside or outside the firewall, from malicious attackers or careless users. Locking down your Windows computers with secure configurations is a critical step in securing your information assets.

So you’ll always know the state of Windows system security in your organization, and have the power to restore Windows systems to approved security configurations – automatically.
