Security Health Check - Resolve a Security Setting
The Security Health Check tool enables customers to view and manage their portal’s security settings. Administrators can resolve any security issues that are displayed in this tool.
Administrators can only change the value for security issues, which are security settings that are in a critical or warning status. Further, administrators can only change security settings to the Cornerstone recommended value. To change a value for a non-security issue or to change a setting to a non-recommended value, administrators must contact customer support.
To resolve a security setting, go to Resolve link for a recommended action. The Security Issue flyout opens. Select the button to change the setting value.

Best Practices
- Organizations should consult with their IT Security team and test in Pilot and Stage environments before making any updates to security settings in the Production environment.
- Cornerstone maintains recommended values for portal security. Depending upon an organization’s portal configuration (ie: custom coding, scripts, etc), updating a setting to the Cornerstone recommended value may impact portal functionality (ie: custom HTML links, etc).
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Your security settings are set to Cornerstone's recommended values. No action for you at this time.

For your security, Cornerstone maintains recommended values for all security settings and encourages customers to review and update their portal's settings to align with Cornerstone's recommended values. A security issue is present when your portal's current security setting value does not align with Cornerstone's recommended value.

If a security issue is present, you can edit the security setting to the Cornerstone recommended value from the Security Health Check page.
We highly recommend that you review these security settings with your IT Security team and test in Pilot and Stage before applying any updates to Production.

You may not need to resolve a security issue. For some organizations, a security setting has been intentionally set to a less secure value to support specific needs. Please consult your IT Security team before making any changes to your security settings.
