The SCAP Extensions enable Configuration Manager to consume Security Content Automation Protocol (SCAP) data streams, assess systems for compliance, and generate report results in SCAP format by taking advantage of the capabilities in the compliance settings feature.

• The SCAP Extensions for Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager use the Compliance Settings feature in Configuration Manager to scan the computers in your environment and then document their level of compliance with the United States Government Configuration Baseline (USGCB) mandate.
  
  The extensions enable Configuration Manager to consume Security Content Automation Protocol (SCAP) data streams, assess systems for compliance, and generate report results in SCAP format. Now your organization can leverage its existing Configuration Manager infrastructure to ensure that the computers you manage meet this federal compliance requirement and generate the requisite USGCB reports for the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB).
  
  The System Center Configuration Manager Extensions for SCAP includes the following components:
  
  • ConfigMgr_Extensions_for_SCAP.msi: This Microsoft Windows Installer (.msi) file includes the command-line tools that you use to convert SCAP data files to Compliance Settings compliant .cab files and also convert Compliance Settings compliance data into SCAP formats.
  • SCAP Extensions for System Center Configuration Manager Release Notes.pdf: This document provides a change list and important notes.
  
  Note: This solution was formally validated as a SCAP 1.2 validated tool with Authenticated Configuration Scanner capability and Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) option by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) on August 28, 2015.
