CIS benchmark report

To create a CIS benchmark report, create a GlobalReport with the reportType set to cis-benchmark.

The following sample command uses a GlobalReport to create a daily CIS benchmark report that run on all the nodes.

kubectl apply -f - << EOF
apiVersion: projectcalico.org/v3
kind: GlobalReport
metadata:
name: daily-cis-benchmark-report
spec:
reportType: cis-benchmark
schedule: 0 0 * * *
EOF

Openshift

While there is no extra setup configuration required by the user to generate a benchmark report for Openshift, the result sets will be different than a report generated for regular Kubernetes clusters. Use the Openshift Container Platform Security Guide to cross-reference the benchmark results.
