Auditor

Auditor performs periodic configuration assessment of your cloud platforms and vulnerability scanners against CIS Benchmarks. Each run produces findings with a severity, evidence, compliance-framework mappings, and structured remediation guidance, so you can see where a configuration drifts from best practice and exactly how to fix it.

Audits run on a per-connector schedule (default 0 */6 * * * — every 6 hours). Findings are retained for 90 days and run history for 180 days.

License availability

Auditor is included in Analytics Pro, Analytics Max, and Reporter Pro licenses (previously Analytics Max only). Lite tiers do not include Auditor.

Framework coverage

Every check carries direct per-check mappings to every supported compliance framework, derived from the CIS official control mappings. The compliance view is filtered to your org-enabled frameworks and offers a framework selector with an All frameworks option.

Two accuracy notes:

  • ISO 27001 control identifiers reflect the platform's current Annex A vocabulary, which is a dated control set.
  • PCI DSS means version 4.0 on-platform; PCI DSS 3.2 is intentionally not represented.

Reading audits and fixing issues

The Auditor lives at Reporter → Auditor and has four tabs, all deep-linkable via query parameters (?tab=overview|findings|runs|connectors, plus ?framework= and ?control=):

  • Overview — overall and per-framework compliance, a framework selector, and a 30-day compliance trend.
  • Findings — every finding, filterable by framework, platform, severity, and status. Selecting a row opens the finding detail.
  • Runs — audit run history per connector with pass/fail/error counts.
  • Connectors — connector configuration (see Connector setup).

The finding detail shows the severity and status, the evidence collected, the framework mappings, and the related MITRE ATT&CK technique ids.

Structured remediation is presented as: a summary, numbered fix steps, the console path, a copyable CLI command, and vendor documentation links.

Offline networks

Vendor documentation links open external sites and are unreachable on disconnected networks. The platform never fetches these links; they are pointers for operators with internet access.

For the org-wide snapshot view, see the Audit Report page. The Compliance Readiness report also shows Audit findings (N) links that jump from a control row directly to its backing findings, pre-filtered to that framework and control.
