Requests sent by the server system cause the computational machines at the plurality of nodes to: locally evaluate the set of local environment verification tests to produce test results, and locally map the test results using the set of mappings into a set of risk scores. Queries sent by the server cause the computational machines at the plurality of nodes to return to the server system at least a portion of the test results and risk scores. The server, identifies, based on the received test results and risk scores, computational machines and/or control categories having risk scores satisfying predefined criteria.",
