Hi @Deepika Ravindran ,

CMDB Compliance is a tool set that enables administrators to certify CMDB data for correctness and fix any discrepancies found in the data.

CMDB Compliance offers these certification options to suit the size and requirements of your organization:

Option	Description
Desired State	Automatically compares the actual attributes and relationships of specific ServiceNow records against the desired states for those records. For example, an audit can detect a Linux database server with insufficient RAM or whose Depends on relationships with another CI is incorrect. The system then publishes any discrepancies found and automatically assigns follow-on tasks to qualified users to bring that server into compliance.
Architecture Compliance	Automatically compares the actual attributes of specific CIs, such as CPU count, RAM, or disk size against the expected attributes for those CIs. The system publishes any discrepancies found and automatically assigns remediation tasks to qualified users.

Mark my answer correct & Helpful, if Applicable.
