Configuration Compliance data is imported from third-party SCA scanner applications. They structure groups of software and hardware tests into data records to expedite conducting assessments.  
Note:  
Starting with v14.9 of Configuration Compliance, the following terms have been renamed:{#vuln-config-compl-discovery__entry__2}

| Terminology prior to v14.9 | Terminology v14.9 onwards |
|-|-|
| Test Result Group | Remediation Task |
| Group Rules | Remediation Task Rules |
| Policy | Test group |
[Table 1. Changes in terminology]

When an import is complete, an event is sent to indicate end-of-import actions. For every active remediation task, the following actions are taken:

* Resolved remediation tasks with failed results return to the Awaiting Implementation state.
* Remediation tasks where all results have passed, are Closed.
* The state of test results that are in active remediation tasks are updated.
* The flag indicating whether a result is part of an active remediation task is updated.
