Blaise® 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. The desktop components of Blaise® software
have been tested to verify compliance with the FDCC under Windows XP® and Windows Vista®, using a SCAP
validated tool with FDCC Scanner capability.
- The desktop components of Blaise software 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 the Blaise desktop components does not alter
the configuration settings from the approved FDCC configuration. Blaise uses the Windows Installer Service for installation to
the default "program files" directory and is able to silently install and uninstall.
- Blaise applications designed for normal end users are able to run in the standard user context without elevated system
administration privileges.
Contact Blaise Services at Westat with any questions about Blaise and FDCC compliance.
