Compliance Remediation Scripts for Computing Device Non-Compliance
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Entities face significant challenges in demonstrating regulatory compliance due to numerous and varied regulations, leading to costly efforts and potential severe repercussions for non-compliance, particularly in areas of security and privacy.
Innovation Solution
A cognitive system, such as regulatory compliance program 148, analyzes hardware and software on computing devices to identify non-compliance issues and executes scripts to rectify these issues based on applicable regulations, utilizing machine learning and natural language processing to create compliance profiles and enforce regulatory requirements.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If manual compliance verification methods are used, then entities can identify non-compliance issues, but the process requires excessive time and resources
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces manual compliance verification (mechanical human effort) with automated software agents and cognitive systems that use machine learning and natural language processing to analyze hardware and software configurations, regulatory profiles, and compliance requirements, thereby reducing time and resource consumption while maintaining or improving detection accuracy
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables self-service compliance verification where software agents automatically scan computing devices, identify non-compliance issues, and even execute remediation scripts without human intervention, allowing the system to serve itself in maintaining regulatory compliance
2Reliability
If comprehensive regulatory analysis is performed on all computing devices, then complete compliance assurance is achieved, but the complexity of the compliance program increases significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the compliance verification process into modular software agents that can independently analyze specific aspects of computing devices (hardware, software, configurations) against specific regulatory requirements, making the complex compliance program manageable through divided, specialized components
Solution Approach 2:
The cognitive compliance system is designed as a universal platform that can handle multiple regulatory frameworks, analyze various types of computing devices, and perform different compliance assessment functions through a single integrated system, reducing overall program complexity despite comprehensive coverage
3Productivity
If automated remediation scripts are executed, then non-compliance issues are resolved efficiently, but the risk of system errors or unintended changes increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements feedback mechanisms where software agents continuously monitor system state before and after executing remediation scripts, verify that changes achieve compliance without causing errors, and can rollback or correct unintended changes, thereby maintaining system stability while enabling efficient automated remediation

AI summary
Hardware and software on a computing device is analyzed based on a regulatory profile for the computing device and regulatory compliance for an entity associated with the computing device. A determination is made whether at least one of the hardware and software on the computing device includes at least one regulatory non-compliance issue. In response to determining that at least one of the hardware and software on the computing device includes at least one regulatory non-compliance issue, one or more scripts are executed on the hardware and software on the computing device to cause the hardware and software to resolve the at least one regulatory non-compliance issue based on the regulatory profile for the computing device.
