Handling Baseline Inspection Results

Scenario

To handle the check result, perform the following operations:

• Handling Unsafe Settings: Rectify the risk check items based on the check result.
• Reporting Manual Check Results to SecMaster: For manual check items, after you finish each check, report the check result to SecMaster. The pass rate is calculated based on results from both manual and automatic checks.
• Ignoring a Check Item: If you have custom requirements for a check item, ignore the check item. For example, SecMaster checks whether the session timeout duration is set to 15 minutes, while you need to set it to 20 minutes. In this situation, ignore this check item so that SecMaster no longer executes this check.
• Importing and Exporting Check Results: You can import or export check results.

Limitations and Constraints

When you import check results, note the following restrictions:

• Only .xlsx files can be imported.
• Each time only one file can be imported. Maximum file size: 500 KB and 500 records.
• Duplicate data will be removed and will not be imported repeatedly.

Prerequisites

• The cloud service baseline has been scanned.
