New checklist item: OS patch compliance checks
What's new?
You can now verify if employee devices are updated with the latest operating system (OS) patches. A new checklist item titled “Install Device Security Patches” is now available as part of checklists in the People module. This check automatically evaluates each employee’s device status and flags outdated systems.
Why it matters
By automatically monitoring patch compliance, you can ensure all employee devices have installed the latest OS security patches. This ensures a stronger security posture and audit-ready assurance, with zero manual tracking.
