Security and Compliance in VMware Validated Design

Security and compliance guidance outlines the built-in controls in the VMware Validated Design for Software-Defined Data Center and the additional controls that can be added by using enhanced guidance.

Currently, a subset of enhanced guidance controls is part of this document. The document also outlines the overall approach to be used in both the built-in controls and enhanced guidance.

Built-in Controls

Security controls based on compliance requirements that are part of the VMware Validated Design for Software-Defined Data Center. Some controls might require additional configuration, but by design the capabilities are included in the current implementation.

Enhanced Guidance

Additional guidance on a per regulation, or standard basis includes a set of capabilities that can be added to the existing VMware Validated Design for Software-Defined Data Center implementations.
