New Senteon Platform Update: Endpoint PDF Reports & Smarter Compliance Controls

We’re excited to announce a new Senteon platform update focused on two things our customers care deeply about: clear, audit-ready reporting and better accountability in configuration decisions.

This release introduces a major enhancement to endpoint reporting with a revamped Endpoint PDF Report, along with a new optional feature that helps organizations enforce annotations for specific baseline decisions.

For a full breakdown of everything included in this release, you can review the latest Senteon platform update in our changelog.

Revamped Endpoint PDF Report: Built for Audits, Reviews, and Real-World Use

One of the most requested improvements to the Senteon platform is here: you can now generate Endpoint PDF Reports directly without first creating HTML reports.

This new report type is available through a dedicated tab on the Report Generation page and includes configuration options designed specifically for PDF output and sharing.

What’s Included in the New Endpoint PDF Report

The revamped Endpoint PDF Report provides a comprehensive, easy-to-read snapshot of your selected endpoints, including:

• Endpoint identifying information
  
• Status and group details
  
• Compliance Scores and Health Scores for each endpoint
• A detailed breakdown of:
  
  
  • Compliant vs. Noncompliant settings

• • Healthy vs. Drifted vs. Unmanaged settings

To give stakeholders a high-level view at a glance, the report also includes a ring graph that aggregates Compliance and Health Scores across all selected endpoints providing an overall score and visual breakdown.

Why This Matters

The new PDF report is designed to reduce friction during:

• Audits and assessments
• Executive and stakeholder reviews
• Compliance attestations
• Customer or internal reporting

By eliminating the extra step of generating HTML reports first, teams can move faster while still delivering clear, professional, and audit-ready documentation.

This is especially valuable for organizations preparing for assessments tied to compliance frameworks like CMMC, where clear evidence of endpoint posture, compliance status, and overall health is critical.

Decision Annotation Enforcement: Optional, Flexible, and Purpose-Built

This update also introduces Decision Annotation Enforcement, a new organization-level setting that gives administrators more control over documentation and accountability.

Organizations can now choose to require annotations when a baseline decision:

• Leaves a setting unmanaged, or
• Assigns a noncompliant target option
  

Each requirement can be enabled independently, allowing teams to tailor enforcement to their internal processes and risk tolerance. By default, neither option is enabled.

This feature helps reduce configuration drift by ensuring deviations are intentional, documented, and reviewable rather than accidental or overlooked.

How Enforcement Works

• Annotation requirements are enforced the next time a baseline is edited
  
• Only settings that are actually marked for update are subject to enforcement
• Users must ensure all required annotations are provided before finalizing baseline changes
• Mass action workflows now prompt users to enter a single annotation that can be applied to all affected settings when required

Why This Matters

This feature helps organizations:

• Improve documentation quality
• Create clearer audit trails
• Encourage thoughtful configuration decisions
• Reduce ambiguity during reviews and assessments

All without adding unnecessary overhead to day-to-day workflows.

Built for Practical Security and Continuous Compliance

This update reflects Senteon’s continued focus on delivering practical security tools that scale across environments while supporting real-world compliance needs.

Whether you’re preparing for an audit, reviewing endpoint posture with leadership, or enforcing stronger configuration standards, these enhancements help teams work more efficiently—with greater clarity and confidence.
