Appendix A: Implementing the Security Content Automation Protocol
Statement of OVAL implementation
When a system is audited, the OVAL content is processed according to the information in the
XCCDF benchmarks contained in the audit. The OVAL content captures the state of the system
at the particular point in time that the audit is run. The results are returned to McAfee Policy
Auditor for analysis and reporting. The user specifies how long audit data is to be retained so
that they or auditors can review any changes in the state of a system over time.
McAfee Policy Auditor version 6.0 provides fully integrated support for OVAL versions 5.7, 5.8,
and 5.9. Previous versions of McAfee Policy Auditor have been certified by Mitre as
OVAL-Compatible.
