Abstract
The invention relates to a computer-implemented method for automated approval of a non-compliance of a modified configuration of a computer system with one or more compliance rules, the method comprising: receiving by a package management system a pre-approved modification pattern in form of a software package, deploying a modification pattern of the software package and providing compliance exception pre-approvals of the software package to a compliance management system, performing a compliance check of the resulting modified configuration of the computer system, in response to detecting a non-compliance with a compliance rule, comparing the detected non-compliance with the one or more pre-approved non-compliances, in response to a matching of the detected non-compliance with one or more of the respective pre-approved non-compliances, automatically approving the detected non-compliance by the compliance management system.
