Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G  H

Claim 14:
15. A system for determining third party network compliance with a host entity network, the system comprising:
the host entity network configured to:
construct a scanning file that includes host entity network compliance standards stored on the host entity network, the host entity network compliance standards comprising:
security assessment standards;
data movement controls;
hardware requirements;
software requirements; and
configuration settings; and

transmit the scanning file to an intermediary entity network;

the intermediary entity network configured to:
receive the scanning file from the host entity network;
generate an executable file that, when executed, runs a plug-in scanning file, the plug-in scanning file for being run at a third-party network, the plug-in scanning file, when run, being configured to scan hardware and software resident at the third-party network for compliance with the host entity network compliance standards; and
transmit the executable file to the third party network;

the third-party network configured to:
receive the executable file;
execute the executable file, the executing including running the plug-in scanning file, the plug-in scanning file for testing the hardware and software resident at the third party network for compliance with the host entity network compliance standards;
generate a log file upon a completion of the running of the plug-in scanning file;
digitally signing the log file, wherein the digitally signing converts the log file to an immutable log file; and
in response to the signing, transmitting the executable file and the immutable log file to the intermediary entity network; and

the intermediary entity network further configured to:
receive the executable file and the immutable log file;
decipher the immutable log file;
based on the deciphering, generate a readable report; and
transmit the readable report to the host entity network.
