The cis-operator enables running CIS benchmark security scans on a Kubernetes cluster and generate compliance reports that can be downloaded. Benchmarks tests and the execution logic lives on rancher/security-scan.
Important
This project has been replaced by rancher/compliance-operator. It is now in a Security Maintenance Phase for Rancher 2.10 and 2.11. No new features will be added.
For Rancher v2.12.0+, the legacy CIS Benchmark App is replaced by the new Rancher Compliance App. Please follow the official guide to migrate your custom profiles:
👉 Migration Guide: CIS Benchmark to Rancher Compliance
| Branch | Rancher Version | Status | Recommended Action |
|---|---|---|---|
| release/v1.4 | v2.11.x | Security Only | Move to Compliance Operator |
| release/v1.3 | v2.10.x | Security Only | Plan migration for Rancher 2.12+ |
| release/v1.2 | v2.9.x | EOL | Upgrade to supported version |
- Issues & Feedback: Direct all new feature requests or general bugs to the Compliance Operator Issues.
- Security Patches: We will continue to review PRs for documented security vulnerabilities (CVEs) on supported 2.10/2.11 lines. All other PRs will be redirected.
The current branch strategy for rancher/cis-operator is laid out below:
| Branch | Tag | Security-Scan | Rancher |
|---|---|---|---|
main |
head |
main branch (head)` |
main branch (head) |
release/v1.3 |
v1.3.x |
v0.5.x |
v2.10.x |
release/v1.2 |
v1.2.x |
v0.4.x |
v2.9.x |
release/v1.1 |
v1.1.x |
v0.3.x |
v2.8.x |
master (deprecated) |
v1.0.x |

v2.7.x,v2.8.x,v2.9.x |
Note that it aligns with Rancher Manager releases to maximize compatibility within the ecosystem. This includes k8s dependencies that the Rancher release aims to support, meaning that cis-operator should use the same k8s minor release that the Rancher release line it aims to support.
Active development takes place against main. Release branches are only used for
bug fixes and security-related dependency bumps.
Refer to the Support Compatibility Matrix for official compatibility information.
