Automated CIS® Compliance
Turn Compliance into an Automated Advantage
Transform compliance from a reactive, resource-intensive process into a continuously automated one. The Forescout Vistaro™ platform helps organizations take control of compliance, reduce audit effort, and gain security confidence — without slowing down business.
The Hidden Cost of Manual Compliance
Most organizations lack the ability to assess, in real time, all asset types, managed and unmanaged, and confirm they comply with their organization’s security framework.
The cost of this approach isn’t just inefficiency. It’s limited visibility, delayed remediation, and uncertainty when leaders are asked to prove where they stand.
Reliance on Point-in-Time Compliance Validation
Outdated, point‑in‑time assessments of security controls leave critical gaps in your defense and expose you to unnecessary risk.
Inability to Enforce Security Controls and Compliance
Limited visibility into control coverage and effectiveness makes it difficult to consistently enforce policy and ensure compliance across the environment.
Incomplete Documentation Leads to Failed Audits
If you achieve compliance but can’t document it, you’re still subject to audit failure — putting certifications and customer trust at risk.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does Forescout prove device compliance automatically?
Forescout continuously monitors device configuration and security posture for every connected device, assessing compliance on connect and continuously thereafter rather than only at scan time. If a device falls out of compliance – out-of-date antivirus, for example – Forescout can automatically notify your network team and trigger enforcement. Device compliance begins with complete device visibility.
How does Forescout automate compliance reporting and audit evidence?
The Forescout Vistaro™ platform turns compliance from a reactive, resource-intensive process into a continuously automated one, cutting audit effort without slowing the business. Forescout’s Automated Security Controls Assessment gives you a single centralized view of control coverage and status in real time, extending assessment across all assets – including unmanaged devices that periodic scans, spreadsheets and point-in-time GRC tools miss.
How does Forescout prove device compliance without manual work?
Forescout replaces manual compliance work – periodic scans, ad-hoc evidence collection and spreadsheets – with continuous automated assessment. Traditional GRC tools give you point-in-time scans only. Forescout continuously assesses all connected devices in real time, and you can query a 90-day historical asset timeline to prove compliance over time and support audit and incident investigation.
