ClusterComplianceReport
The ClusterComplianceReport is a cluster-scoped resource, which represents the latest compliance control checks results.
The report spec defines a mapping between pre-defined compliance control check ids to security scanners check ids.
Currently, only config-audit security scanners are supported.
Built in reports
The following reports are available out of the box:
| Compliance | Name for command | More info |
|---|---|---|
| NSA, CISA Kubernetes Hardening Guidance v1.2 | nsa |
Link |
| CIS Benchmark for Kubernetes v1.23 | cis |
Link |
The compliance report structure
spec:represents the compliance control checks specification, check details, and the mapping to the security scanner (this part is defined by the user)status:represents the compliance control checks (as defined by spec mapping) results extracted from the security scanners reports (this part is output by trivy-operator)
The following shows a sample ClusterComplianceReport NSA specification associated with the cluster in summary format:
