This project contains security and operational best-practice policies (as code) for use with cnspec.

We've organized them into these directories:

• core - Core policies contain baseline security and operational best-practice checks for various scan targets. Core policies are maintained by Mondoo and have strict quality requirements.
• extra - Extra policies are a mix of community- and Mondoo-maintained policy bundles that are outside Mondoo's core support tier.
• community - Community policies are primarily maintained by the community with the support of the Mondoo team. Community policies may move to extra or core over time.

The latest version of the policies in this repository requires cnspec v8

cnspec scan {TARGET} -f core/{POLICY_NAME}.mql.yaml

Examples:

# Linux
cnspec scan local -f core/mondoo-linux-security.mql.yaml

# macOS
cnspec scan local -f core/mondoo-macos-security.mql.yaml

# Windows
