Harden Your Clusters Before Attackers Find the Gaps

The assessment and hardening guide runs 7-10 days. Days 1-3 cover automated CIS Benchmark scanning, RBAC audit, and vulnerability analysis. Days 4-7 handle analysis and compliance mapping. Days 8-10 deliver the security scorecard and hardening implementation guide with copy-paste YAML for every fix.

Yes. We map all Kubernetes security findings to SOC2 Type II controls, HIPAA workload isolation requirements, PCI-DSS network segmentation requirements, ISO 27001, and CIS Kubernetes Benchmark v1.8. This gives your compliance team a clear picture of how cluster security posture relates to your regulatory obligations.

We identify all over-permissioned ClusterRoleBindings and RoleBindings, service accounts with cluster-admin access, and unused or stale RBAC entries. Every finding includes a specific recommendation to implement least-privilege access. Typical clusters have 8-15 service accounts with excessive permissions.

The assessment itself is read-only and non-invasive. The hardening guide provides implementation YAML that you can apply incrementally. We recommend starting with non-production clusters and testing thoroughly. Network policy changes, in particular, should be applied namespace by namespace.

You receive copy-paste YAML for every finding: network policy templates with default-deny, pod security standards, RBAC corrections, image vulnerability remediation steps, and CIS Benchmark fixes. Every fix includes a severity rating, effort estimate, and expected security impact.

For HIPAA workloads, we implement namespace-level isolation with network policies, pod security admission controls that prevent privileged containers, RBAC restrictions limiting access to PHI-adjacent services, and audit logging for all access to sensitive namespaces. We provide a HIPAA control mapping document for your compliance documentation.
