FortiClient Compliance Profiles

This section describes the FortiClient Compliance Profiles endpoint protection features and configuration.

FortiClient Compliance Profiles are used primarily to make sure connected devices are compliant with Endpoint Control and to protect against vulnerabilities. Both Endpoint Vulnerability Scan on Client and System compliance are enabled by default, while other settings are disabled by default. This allows FortiClient to work as part of a Security Fabric.

FortiClient Profiles was renamed FortiClient Compliance Profiles to clarify that this profile only creates "compliance rules" and cannot be used to "provision FortiClient endpoints".

You must first enable this feature. Go to System > Feature Visibility and enable Endpoint Control. This will reveal the Security Profiles > FortiClient Compliance menu item.
