Once a scan is in progress, can it be paused or stopped?

In the context of the Assured Compliance Assessment Solution (ACAS), once a scan is initiated, it cannot be paused or stopped until it has completed its process. The inability to pause or stop a scan is designed to ensure thoroughness and consistency in data collection and vulnerability assessments. Interrupting a scan could lead to incomplete data, making it difficult to accurately assess an organization's security posture.

The design of the ACAS tool emphasizes a comprehensive assessment of security compliance, and allowing scans to be paused or stopped could compromise the integrity of the assessment process, leading to potentially significant gaps in compliance reporting. Therefore, the response indicating that scans cannot be paused or stopped is accurate.
