How do I analyze the result of a Policy scan?

When performing a Policy scan, there are a lot of different tests being executed to make sure all the rules are being fulfilled in order to pass the audit, this article will give you a brief introduction on how to analyze the result.

There are five different outcomes for each test, and all the tests need to be either Passed or N/A to pass the audit:

• Passed – The test passed the audit. 
• Failed – The resource has failed the test and needs remediation.
• Unknown – For an unknown reason, the test could not be executed. Could be caused by wrong permissions, API failures etc.
• N/A – Not applicable for this audit.
• Error – An error occurred; the test could not be executed.
