Why automate compliance?

Industry baseline

CIS Benchmarks are the most widely adopted cloud security standard, used by security teams worldwide.

Level 1 & Level 2

ConformScan checks both CIS Level 1 (essential) and Level 2 (defense-in-depth) controls.

Cross-framework

CIS controls map directly to NIS2, ISO 27001 and BSI C5 — fix once, satisfy multiple frameworks.

Remediation code

Every failing check includes Terraform or AWS CLI remediation snippets ready to copy-paste.

CIS Benchmarks — What you need to know

The CIS Benchmarks (Center for Internet Security) are consensus-based security configuration guidelines for cloud infrastructure. They define two levels: Level 1 (essential security, minimal performance impact) and Level 2 (defense-in-depth for high-security environments).

Why CIS? CIS Benchmarks are referenced by ISO 27001, SOC 2, NIS2, and most cyber insurance policies as the baseline for cloud hardening. Passing CIS Level 1 significantly reduces your attack surface and demonstrates due diligence.

Coverage: ConformScan covers CIS Benchmarks for AWS (Foundations, Compute, Storage, Databases, Networking) and Azure (Identity, Storage, Database, Networking, Logging).
