Pack details and reporting

Opening the Pack Details displays all Insights associated with the pack as well as the compliance rule matched to the Insight. You can filter the list by compliance rule, or you can free-text search for Insight metadata like name, author, or release version. You can also delete an Insight from the pack at any time. To edit or take action on an Insight, you must use the Insights Library. For more information on compliance rules, review Compliance rules.

The Compliance Reporting tab displays trends and analytics graphs as well as data related to how compliant your cloud accounts are against the compliance pack. You can manage compliance reporting subscriptions and export configuration links using the Options button. For more information, review Subscriptions and exports.

Compliance rules

Compliance rules are how you map specific Insights to exact compliance benchmark specifications for tracking purposes. You can create your own compliance rules for a Custom Pack.

If you create a custom pack from another pack (also called a base pack), the new custom pack will inherit the rules from the base pack. Inherited compliance rules cannot be edited.

To create a compliance rule:

  1. From the Command Platform, go to Controls & Compliance > Insights.
  2. Click Custom Packs.
  3. Locate a pack, then click Action (…) > Open Pack Details.
  4. Click Compliance Rules.
  5. Click Add Rule.
  6. Enter a Rule Name.
  7. Click OK.

To edit a compliance rule:

  1. From the Command Platform, go to Controls & Compliance > Insights.
  2. Click Custom Packs.
  3. Locate a pack, then click Action (…) > Open Pack Details.
  4. Click Compliance Rules.
  5. Locate a rule, then click Action (…)

You can rename the rule or delete it.

ℹ️

Ready to map a compliance rule to an Insight?

You can map a compliance rule to an Insight in a custom pack from the Insights Library.

Subscriptions and exports

You can export your compliance reporting data using two methods: email subscriptions and export configuration links (also called cloud storage subscriptions). For more information on managing email subscriptions or export configuration links, review Compliance Exporting.

ℹ️

We recommend using Misconfigurations instead

While the process documented for Compliance Exporting is still supported, we strongly recommend users take advantage of the capabilities and functionality that are included with the Misconfigurations for better data visibility, reporting, and context around compliance.
