The new Compliance Score offers a user-friendly method to assess compliance levels. It measures control-specific compliance and overall framework compliance. The use of a percentage metric, together with the different levels of detail, provides valuable insights that help organizations improve their compliance efforts.

Let’s explore how Compliance Score works and the benefits it brings to enhancing compliance within Kubernetes deployments.

Control Compliance Score: a detailed assessment

The Control Compliance Score evaluates compliance with individual security controls. It calculates how well resources meet the requirements of each control. This enables organizations to focus their efforts on improving control-specific compliance.

Framework Compliance Score: a holistic view

The Framework Compliance Score provides an overall assessment of compliance with a specific framework. It’s calculated by averaging the Control Compliance Scores of all controls within the framework. It provides a single, easy-to-understand metric that represents the organization’s compliance status.

The Compliance Score simplifies compliance assessment and empowers organizations to take targeted actions for improvement. By understanding control-specific compliance and framework-level performance, businesses can prioritize efforts, address vulnerabilities, and enhance their overall compliance posture.
