Security management in an organization requires installing the right application in order to enhance efficiency. Microsoft is one organization that takes the issue of centralized security seriously; and that explains a program like Security Compliance Manager.

Microsoft Security Compliance Manager provides centralized security baseline management features, a baseline portfolio, customization capabilities, and security baseline export flexibility to accelerate your organization’s ability to efficiently manage the security and compliance process for the most widely used Microsoft technologies.

The Microsoft Security Compliance Manager is the next evolution of the Microsoft Security Compliance Management Toolkit Series. The program incorporates an extensive guidance and documentation, including the previously stand-alone product-specific security guides. This enables you to access and automate all of your organization’s security baselines in one centralized location.

The Security Compliance Manager from Microsoft is designed with some advanced features that include the following; integration with the System Centre 2012 Process Pack for IT GRC, lets you import and take advantage of your existing Group Policy or create a snapshot of a reference machine to kick-start your project, deploy your configurations to non-domain joined computers using the new GPO Pack feature, the centralized management console of the Security Compliance Manager provides you with a unified, end-to-end user experience to plan, customize, and export security baselines, and many more.

Downside

It will take sometime to get used to this software; but the good news is that it is a freeware.
