Appendix A: Implementing the Security Content
Automation Protocol
McAfee Policy Auditor version 6.0 uses the Security Content Automation Protocol (SCAP)
version 1.1. Security content conforming to the SCAP standard can be used by any product
supporting the standard and the results can be shared between these products.
SCAP is a collection of six open standards developed jointly by various United States government
organizations and the private sector. McAfee Policy Auditor uses the Security Content Automation
Protocol (SCAP) to perform automated audits, including policy compliance evaluations such as
the Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA).
