Compliance Engine Status Transitions

Compliance Engine policies run triggers a status change for all objects that enter a policy scope. Each new object get a N status and the corresponding value in the field 'N Start Date'.

Object	Initial Status Recorded	Close Date	Last Status Change	Incompliant Start Date	Incompliant End Date	Compliant Start Date	Compliant End Date	Inapplicable Start Date	Inapplicable End Date

Object	Initial Status Recorded	Close Date	Last Status Change	Incompliant Start Date	Incompliant End Date	Compliant Start Date	Compliant End Date	Inapplicable Start Date	Inapplicable End Date
not checked by a policy yet	COMPLIANT	no change	date when the object gets COMPLIANT	no change	no change	Date/Time is set	changes to null	no change	no change
not checked by a policy yet	INCOMPLIANT	no change	date when the object gets INCOMPLIANT	Date/Time is set	changes to null	no change	no change	no change	no change
not checked by a policy yet	INAPPLICABLE	no change	date when the object gets INAPPLICABLE	no change	no change	no change	no change	Date/Time is set	changes to null

Object	Status Change	Close Date	Last Status Change	Incompliant Start Date	Incompliant End Date	Compliant Start Date	Compliant End Date	Inapplicable Start Date	Inapplicable End Date

Object	Status Change	Close Date	Last Status Change	Incompliant Start Date	Incompliant End Date	Compliant Start Date	Compliant End Date	Inapplicable Start Date	Inapplicable End Date
COMPLIANT	INCOMPLIANT	no change	date when the object gets INCOMPLIANT	Date/Time is set	changes to null	no change	Date/Time is set	no change	no change
COMPLIANT	INAPPLICABLE	no change	date when the object gets INAPPLICABLE	no change	no change	no change	Date/Time is set	Date/Time is set	changes to null
COMPLIANT	scope loss*	Date/Time is set	no change	no change	no change	no change	Date/Time is set	no change	no change

Once the object gets the status COMPLIANT after the policy run, the field 'Compliant Start Date' is populated with a certain value.
Once the object changes the status from COMPLIANT to any other, the field 'Compliant End Date' is populated with a certain value.

Object	Status Change	Close Date	Last Status Change	Incompliant Start Date	Incompliant End Date	Compliant Start Date	Compliant End Date	Inapplicable Start Date	Inapplicable End Date

Object	Status Change	Close Date	Last Status Change	Incompliant Start Date	Incompliant End Date	Compliant Start Date	Compliant End Date	Inapplicable Start Date	Inapplicable End Date
INCOMPLIANT	COMPLIANT	no change	date when the object gets COMPLIANT	no change	Date/Time is set	Date/Time is set	no change	no change	no change
INCOMPLIANT	INAPPLICABLE	no change	date when the object gets INAPPLICABLE	no change	Date/Time is set	no change	no change	Date/Time is set	changes to null
INCOMPLIANT	scope loss*	Date/Time is set	no change	no change	Date/Time is set	no change	no change	no change	no change

Once the object gets the status INCOMPLIANT after the policy run, the field 'Incompliant Start Date' is populated with a certain value.
Once the object changes the status from INCOMPLIANT to any other, the field 'Incompliant End Date' is populated with a certain value.

Object	Status Change	Close Date	Last Status Change	Incompliant Start Date	Incompliant End Date	Compliant Start Date	Compliant End Date	Inapplicable Start Date	Inapplicable End Date

Object	Status Change	Close Date	Last Status Change	Incompliant Start Date	Incompliant End Date	Compliant Start Date	Compliant End Date	Inapplicable Start Date	Inapplicable End Date
INAPPLICABLE	COMPLIANT	no change	date when the object gets COMPLIANT	no change	no change	Date/Time is set	changes to null	no change	Date/Time is set
INAPPLICABLE	INCOMPLIANT	no change	date when the object gets INCOMPLIANT	Date/Time is set	changes to null	no change	no change	no change	Date/Time is set
INAPPLICABLE	scope loss*	Date/Time is set	no change	no change	no change	no change	no change	no change	Date/Time is set

Once the object gets the status INAPPLICABLE after the policy run, the field 'Inapplicable Start Date' is populated with a certain value.
Once the object changes the status from INAPPLICABLE to any other, the field 'Inapplicable End Date' is populated with a certain value.

{status} End Date changes to null as soon as the object gets the status which is different from the former one. This is done to be able to monitor the amount of time an object has this or that status.

*Once the object no longer enters the policy scope, the field 'Close Date' gets populated. The objects with 'Close Date' should be taken out of consideration when checking MTTR (Mean Time To Resolve) metric to track the violation age.
