## Running a Compliance Security Scan on a Kubernetes Cluster
Rancher leverages [kube-bench](https://github.com/aquasecurity/kube-bench) to run a security scan to check whether Kubernetes is deployed according to security best practices as defined in the [CIS](https://www.cisecurity.org/cis-benchmarks/) (Center for Internet Security) Kubernetes Benchmark.
Rancher leverages [kube-bench](https://github.com/aquasecurity/kube-bench) to run a security scan to check whether Kubernetes is deployed according to security best practices.
The CIS Kubernetes Benchmark is a reference document that can be used to establish a secure configuration baseline for Kubernetes.
The Center for Internet Security (CIS) is a 501(c\)(3) non-profit organization, formed in October 2000, with a mission to "identify, develop, validate, promote, and sustain best practice solutions for cyber defense and build and lead communities to enable an environment of trust in cyberspace".
CIS Benchmarks are best practices for the secure configuration of a target system. CIS Benchmarks are developed through the generous volunteer efforts of subject matter experts, technology vendors, public and private community members, and the CIS Benchmark Development team.
The Benchmark provides recommendations of two types: Automated and Manual. We run tests related to only Automated recommendations.
When Rancher runs a CIS security scan on a cluster, it generates a report showing the results of each test, including a summary with the number of passed, skipped and failed tests. The report also includes remediation steps for any failed tests.
