The Compliance badge value is a score based on one or more compliance policies that you run in vRealize Operations against the data collected from vRealize Operations. Compliance policies are set of rules which your environment must comply to meet corporate or industry standards.

The compliance score is based on the number of violations against those policies.

The Compliance badge displays one of the following values:

• 100 if there are no triggered standards. The badge color is green.
• 75 if the most critical triggered standard is a warning. The badge color is yellow.
• 25 if the most critical triggered standard is immediate. The badge color is orange.
• 0 if the most critical triggered standard is critical. The badge color is red.

The alert details provide information on the compliance violation.
