1. Description¶

The Tanium Hygiene Assessment Tool (Tanium HAT) automates Tanium’s standard Hygiene Assessment process. The tool gathers, analyzes and outputs a pre-formatted Hygiene Assessment Report (PPTX) showing the overall state of Hygiene across Tanium managed endpoints. Tanium HAT is written entirely in Python, and relies on Tanium PyTan at its core for Tanium Question execution.

Tanium HAT features:

• Includes multiple Hygiene Plugins designed to query and analyze important Hygiene industry-recommended practices.
• Ability to easily extend existing or create custom Hygiene Plugins to meet your specific analysis use cases.
• “Ready-To-Present” PPT report is automatically generated, including all Hygiene Plugin analyzed results. No user PPT editing required, unless custom changes are desired.
• The tool is an entirely self contained solution (no pre-requisite installs or changes required).
• Can be executed directly on the Tanium Server (local execution) or on a seperate machine that has access to the Tanium Console (remote execution).

The tool is ever growing and ever changing, based on internal/external feedback and direct contribution from the community. To learn more about Tanium HAT including how to configure and execute Tanium HAT, the tool’s internals, and how to extend its capabilities, read on to discover more!
