Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems for managing computing infrastructure face challenges in ensuring continuous compliance with various standards, particularly in distributed systems, where security and performance risks can arise from non-compliance.
Innovation Solution
A cross-standard compliance coverage model is used to monitor and manage compliance of infrastructure components with multiple standards, employing agents to collect data and dynamically update the model in real-time, enabling proactive management of compliance changes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If manual compliance monitoring methods are used, then system complexity is reduced, but compliance monitoring precision and real-time capability deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a compliance monitoring system as an intermediary component that automatically collects, analyzes, and reports compliance data from infrastructure components. This mediator handles the complex tasks of multi-standard compliance verification, preventing direct manual monitoring while maintaining manageable system complexity through modular architecture.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces manual compliance monitoring mechanisms with automated computational systems. Software agents continuously collect compliance data, algorithms automatically analyze against multiple standards, and systems generate compliance reports without human intervention, substituting mechanical/manual processes with electronic automation.
2Reliability
If automated compliance monitoring systems are implemented, then compliance monitoring precision improves, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the compliance monitoring system into separate modular components: compliance agents deployed on individual infrastructure components, a central compliance monitoring server, and standardized data collection modules. Each segment handles specific compliance aspects independently, improving reliability through specialized functionality while managing complexity through modular design.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a universal compliance monitoring framework that can monitor multiple infrastructure components against multiple standards simultaneously. The system uses standardized data collection methods and unified analysis procedures that work across diverse components and standards, improving compliance assurance while reducing overall system complexity through reuse.
3Object-affected harmful factors
If real-time compliance monitoring is implemented, then security risk reduction improves, but data processing requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements periodic compliance monitoring where agents collect compliance data at regular intervals rather than continuously. Compliance status is reassessed periodically, allowing the system to maintain security risk reduction while reducing data processing resource consumption by processing compliance information at discrete time points rather than continuously.

AI summary
Methods and systems for managing computing infrastructure compliance with standards are disclosed. The computing infrastructure may provide computer implemented services that may be at elevated risk if the computing infrastructure fails to comply with various standards such as security or redundancy standards. To manage compliance with standards, a cross-standard compliance coverage model may be used. The cross-standard compliance coverage model may use information regarding infrastructure components of the computing infrastructure to ascertain compliance with any number of standards.
