Chef Compliance helps across all stages of the compliance workflow:
Acquire: Customers access trusted content aligned to industry benchmarks for audit and remediation. With extensively tested, Chef curated, and CIS-certified content, organizations can get started quickly and ensure remediation actions align directly to audit results.
Define: Chef makes it easy to define compliance baselines and tune them to the organization’s unique needs. Flexible compliance waiver capabilities allow teams to turn on or off individual controls in order to avoid false positives and misconfigurations.
Detect: Continuously monitor and evaluate compliance posture by detecting deviations from intended state at any point in the software delivery lifecycle.
Remediate: remediate non-compliance with policy-driven remediation capabilities that efficiently address individual controls in alignment with audit tests, encoding those fixes to enable continuous compliance. Remediation can be applied easily, without requiring coding skills.
Report: Maintain comprehensive and up-to-date visibility across heterogeneous estates, easily view differences between baseline and remediated states, and track waiver status to enable fast and accurate audits any time.
Chef Compliance Audit
Chef Compliance Audit helps security and operations teams maintain complete visibility over the compliance status of their estate. It comes with extensive audit content based on CIS and STIG benchmarks out of the box that can be easily tuned to meet specific needs of every organization. Chef Compliance Audit provides up-to-date visibility across any on prem or cloud environment.
Automated Remediation
Automated remediation helps close the loop between audit and remediation to enable continuous compliance in the enterprise. New remediation functionality and trusted, standards-based content makes it easy to remediate issues uncovered during audits without writing any code.
Chef Compliance also has the extensibility and flexibility to allow for customization of pre-packaged remediation content that can be modified to accommodate for corporate specific needs through code.

Consolidated Fleet Visibility Dashboard
A specially tailored compliance centric dashboard allows organizations to gain deep insights into the state of their fleets. The Chef Compliance dashboard enables IT infrastructure and Information Security teams to maintain continuous visibility into the compliance status of the entire fleet.
Track, Audit and Apply Waivers to Changes
Through Chef Compliance teams can audit various endpoints for compliance against CIS benchmarks or DISA standards, while viewing the aggregated compliance state of the entire fleet. Chef Compliance allows organizations to flexibly apply waivers and provide a business justification for skipped controls, with the ability to apply end dates to determine when a waiver or control should be remediated, or allow for the waiver to be permanent.
Continuous Compliance Monitoring
With Chef Compliance, organizations can consistently enforce security based on industry standards, such as Center for Internet Security (CIS) benchmarks and DISA-STIGs. Users can also create custom profiles to meet any enterprise role-specific infrastructure or compliance policies so they are able to detect security or compliance issues and automatically correct them to maintain continuous compliance.
Rapid Remediation at Scale
Chef Compliance allows for correction or remediation of configuration drifts from desired state for a single device or up to the entire fleet, from a single pane of glass. Organizations can monitor device compliance state and either automatically or as needed reconfigure the IT resource back into compliance.
We use compliance as code as a vehicle to unite all of our stakeholders. With it, you can articulate your security posture and, more importantly, produce a versionable artifact that represents that posture… Scaling beyond humans with compliance-as-code saves you and your system owners time, but auditors should also understand the time savings they are going to gain.
