Close Compliance Gaps with Broad Technology Coverage | Qualys
Summary: Qualys Policy Audit provides automated compliance coverage across more than 500 technologies, including operating systems, databases, middleware, cloud infrastructure, containers, and legacy systems such as AIX, Solaris, HP-UX, and RACF z/OS. The product ships with over 1,200 ready-to-use policies mapped to global frameworks, a library of more than 25,000 technical controls, and nearly 100 customizable framework templates, plus Out-of-Band Configuration Assessment for air-gapped and isolated environments.
Why it matters: The vendor's own argument is that compliance programs fail on technology blind spots rather than weak policy, and it names legacy UNIX, specialized databases, containerized workloads, and cloud-native infrastructure as the platforms where those gaps open. A control library of 25,000 checks is only useful if it reaches every asset you run, so the exposure sits in whatever your current tooling cannot see.
