Use checks to detect anomalies within an instance, running against tables, records, or metadata.
Checks are rules designed to detect anomalies within an instance. Select a check on the list to view details including what the check evaluates, and possible steps to correct the issue if the check returns any findings.

Select the +Create task button to create a Security Task related to a scan check. For details on Security Tasks, see [Security Tasks](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/OGtwp7ynmn6kmVASd9rFFg "Use Security Tasks to monitor, prioritize, and assign all your security-related tasks in one place.").

Checks are divided into four classes to identify issues and implement security recommendations for your organization: table checks, column type checks, script only checks, and linter checks.

| Check class | Description |
|-|-|
| [Table checks](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=hs-create-table-health-check&version=australia&pubname=australia-platform-administration&ft:locale=en-US) | Use this check class when you know the specific tables and checks you want to test. |
| [Column checks](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=hs-create-column-health-check&version=australia&pubname=australia-platform-administration&ft:locale=en-US) | Use this check class to implement the rule you created to iterate all records matching the target column field type. |
| [Script checks](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=hs-create-script-health-check&version=australia&pubname=australia-platform-administration&ft:locale=en-US) | Use this check class to verify meta data, configurations, and execute complex checks by writing your own checks. |
| [Linter checks](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=hc-linter-check&version=australia&pubname=australia-platform-administration&ft:locale=en-US) | Use this check class to identify any issues in a script. When a linter check is run on a record, an abstract syntax tree for its code is generated which can be used to analyze issues with the code. |
