Spark 1600 Compliance

StevePearson — Thu, 02 Oct 2025 12:24:44 GMT

I'm trying to ascertain the requirements for running compliance with a Spark 1600 cluster.

It's currently locally managed and looking at SK178604 it says that compliance blade is not supported for local management but is supported for central management, however this requires an R82 or higher management server.

The question is, would compliance be supported if I were to use Smart-1 Cloud management ?

Smart-1 Cloud is R82.

Note R82 release notes suggest this might only be partial support for Compliance i.e.

"Added Gaia OS Best Practice support for Quantum Spark Appliances (only for applicable Gaia OS Best Practices)."

Hey Steve,

I saw your post, called License folks and here is what they told me about it. Yes, its supported in S1C, BUT, with some caveats, if you will, as below:

Purchase a license such as CPSM-CLOUD-5-GW-SME-COMP-1Y.
Ensure it's linked to your Check Point User Center account.
Associate your User Center with your Infinity Portal account.

Best,

Andy
