Securing information and the systems that store, process, and transmit that information is a challenging task for organizations of all sizes, and many security practitioners spend much of their time on manual processes. Standardized protocols and models aiding collection and evaluation of endpoint attributes enable automation, thus freeing practitioners to focus on high priority tasks .  

At its core, posture assessment  consists of five basic steps, which the working group desires to fulfill  in an innovative, automated manner capable of avoiding ad hoc or scheduled assessments:

1. Describe target endpoints
2. Determine specific endpoint elements  to assess
3. Collect and make available specified elements' actual values
