VMware Advanced Cyber Compliance strengthens resilience, compliance, and security for VMware Cloud Foundation environments. It combines continuous compliance enforcement, automated disaster recovery, and ransomware-ready cyber recovery into a single VCF advanced service.

Organizations face ever-evolving cyberattacks and increasingly stringent regulations. IT teams run mission-critical compliance and recovery operations with limited visibility, extensive manual intervention, and fragmented tools from different vendors — creating unaddressed gaps that lead to fines, data loss, and operational failures.
Configuration changes accumulate over time, causing systems to drift from their compliant state. Manual audits catch drift too late and consume excessive IT resources.
ACC continuously scans for compliance drift and provides automated remediation — keeping systems in their desired state without manual intervention.
Traditional disaster recovery processes are manual, slow, and difficult to test. When an outage occurs, recovery takes hours or days and data loss can be significant.
ACC delivers RPOs as low as 1 minute with enhanced vSphere replication. Orchestrated recovery handles thousands of VMs with one click, and automated testing validates recovery plans without production impact.
Ransomware attacks can encrypt production environments and backup infrastructure simultaneously. Traditional backups may contain compromised data.
ACC provides an isolated clean room with push-button network isolation. Next-generation validation tools identify clean restore points, enabling confident recovery from cyberattacks.
Powered by VMware Salt, ACC provides continuous configuration checks, drift detection, and automated remediation across your private cloud.
Uses CIS-certified content to provision systems that start compliant and stay that way. Role-based access lets security and IT teams work within their scope of duties.
RPOs as low as 1 minute with enhanced vSphere replication. Orchestrated recovery for thousands of VMs with a single click. Customizable replication, protection, and retention policies.
Automated testing of recovery plans with audit reports — validated without production impact.
Isolated clean room with push-button network isolation for safe recovery from ransomware and cyberattacks. Next-generation validation tools identify clean restore points.
Non-disruptive testing and restore point iterations ensure confident recovery. Available as a VMware Validated Solution.
Healthcare, financial services, and government organizations need continuous proof of compliance. Manual audits are expensive, slow, and only provide point-in-time snapshots.
ACC automates compliance enforcement at scale with CIS-certified scanning, drift detection, and automated remediation. Systems start compliant and stay compliant, reducing audit preparation time and regulatory risk.
Ransomware attacks can encrypt production environments and compromise backup infrastructure simultaneously. Organizations need a recovery path that guarantees clean restore points.
ACC provides an isolated clean room with embedded network isolation, validation tools to identify clean restore points, and non-disruptive testing to verify recovery before switching over.
Large environments with thousands of VMs need automated, orchestrated recovery — not manual runbooks that take hours to execute under pressure.
ACC extends VCF with enterprise-grade disaster recovery that handles thousands of VMs from a single management console. Customizable policies let you set different recovery priorities for different workloads.
Advanced Cyber Compliance (ACC) is a VCF advanced service that combines three capabilities: continuous compliance enforcement powered by VMware Salt, automated disaster recovery with RPOs as low as 1 minute, and cyber recovery with an isolated clean room for ransomware protection.
These capabilities work together to strengthen platform resilience beyond what individual point products can provide.
Yes. ACC is designed specifically for VMware Cloud Foundation environments. It extends VCF with compliance, disaster recovery, and cyber recovery capabilities that integrate natively with the VCF platform stack.
ACC uses CIS (Center for Internet Security) certified content for compliance scanning and enforcement. It supports provisioning systems that start compliant and remain compliant through continuous drift detection and automated remediation.
Organizations use ACC alongside VCF's built-in compliance configuration guides for FedRAMP, PCI-DSS, HIPAA, GDPR, SOC 2, and ISO 27001.
ACC provides a VCF isolated clean room with push-button network isolation. When a ransomware attack is detected, IT teams can isolate the clean room from the production network, use validation tools to identify clean restore points, and perform non-disruptive testing before committing to a recovery.
This prevents recovering from a compromised backup and ensures the restored environment is clean before reconnecting to production.
