Compliance functionality is provided by the Certification Core
(com.snc.certification_core) plugin which contains shared functionality required for
certification audits.

The Certification Core (com.snc.certification_core) plugin consists of the following plugins,
and is activated by default.  
* Activated by default: [Desired State Certification](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/hd4xypYYfNG2pXaz1DPpVA "Desired State performs scheduled or on-demand audits of CMDB data to determine which records match the expected attributes, CI relationships, and relationships to other records in the system.") (com.snc.certification_desired_state)
* [Activate](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=t_ActivateAPlugin&version=australia&pubname=australia-platform-administration&ft:locale=en-US): [Architecture Compliance](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/Mzm9BZ7VHJDcMMLH4mI0BA "Architecture Compliance manages scheduled or on-demand audits of CMDB data to determine which configuration items (CI) match expected attributes. The compliance audits check servers to ensure that their physical resources, such as CPU speed or memory, comply with certain standards.") (com.snc.architecture_compliance), which automatically activates the Version Management (com.snc.version) plugin that manages certification filter and template versions.
* [Activate](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=t_ActivateAPlugin&version=australia&pubname=australia-platform-administration&ft:locale=en-US): [Data Certification](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/n8U6QwzIf5TZRoh67cYSAA "Data Certification manages scheduled and on-demand validations of data in CMDB and non-CMDB tables.") (com.snc.certification_v2), which automatically activates the Version Management (com.snc.version) plugin that manages certification filter versions.
