$ oc get -n openshift-compliance profiles.compliance
The Compliance Operator lets OpenShift Container Platform administrators describe the required compliance state of a cluster and provides them with an overview of gaps and ways to remediate them. The Compliance Operator assesses compliance of both the Kubernetes API resources of OpenShift Container Platform, as well as the nodes running the cluster. The Compliance Operator uses OpenSCAP, a NIST-certified tool, to scan and enforce security policies provided by the content.
The Compliance Operator is available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS (RHCOS) deployments only. |
There are several profiles available as part of the Compliance Operator installation. You can use the oc get
command to view available profiles, profile details, and specific rules.
View the available profiles:
$ oc get -n openshift-compliance profiles.compliance

These profiles represent different compliance benchmarks. Each profile has the product name that it applies to added as a prefix to the profile’s name. ocp4-e8
applies the Essential 8 benchmark to the OpenShift Container Platform product, while rhcos4-e8
applies the Essential 8 benchmark to the Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS (RHCOS) product.

There are two types of compliance profiles available: Platform and Node.
Platform scans target your OpenShift Container Platform cluster.
Node scans target the nodes of the cluster.
