Chef InSpec

chef.io

Chef InSpec is a compliance-as-code framework for auditing and testing the state and security of infrastructure. It is used to run CIS benchmark-based audits and scan cloud accounts, containers, and Kubernetes clusters for misconfigurations, and it can be authored, tested, and run from within Chef Workstation. InSpec is also offered as a supported skill inside the broader Chef 360 Platform's Enterprise and Enterprise Plus plans, where it powers continuous compliance and cloud security scanning use cases.
