FDCC

Tripwire FDCC compliance provides federal information security

All federal agencies using Microsoft XP and Windows Vista machines are required to meet and prove compliance with the Federal Desktop Core Configuration (FDCC) in order to improve security, reduce costs, and decrease application-compatibility issues. Compliance with FDCC means rigorous assessment and maintenance of your IT configuration is vital, and that compliant settings can be proved via thorough reporting.


Tripwire checks Windows desktops against standard FDCC settings to promote and maintain continuous compliance, identifying and assessing changes quickly.

Tripwire delivers a comprehensive solution by:

  • Promoting approved exceptions as standard FDCC policy with intuitive customization tools.
  • Providing one-touch remediation advice for misconfigured files or devices and specifically detailing the steps needed to return IT infrastructure to a secure and compliant state.
  • Documenting and consolidating all changes and event activity into a single, verifiable audit trail.
