WesVar® FDCC Compliance
The Federal Desktop Core Configuration (FDCC) is a security configuration mandated by the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) to standardize the configuration of desktop computers used by U.S. Government agencies. WesVar has been tested to verify
compliance with the FDCC under Windows XP® and Windows Vista®, using a SCAP validated tool with FDCC
Scanner capability.
- All WesVar components are fully functional and operate correctly as intended on systems using the FDCC under Windows XP
and Windows Vista.
- The standard installation, operation, maintenance, update, and/or patching of WesVar components does not alter the configuration
settings from the approved FDCC configuration. WesVar uses the Windows Installer Service for installation to the default
"program files" directory and is able to silently install and uninstall.
- All WesVar components are able to run in the standard user context without elevated system administration privileges.
Please email wesvar@westat.com if you have any questions about WesVar and FDCC compliance.
