performing-docker-bench-security-assessment
Runs Docker Bench for Security, the open-source CIS Docker Benchmark audit script, across host configuration, daemon settings, images, and runtime configuration, then interprets pass/fail/warn output and remediates the common failures. Use when auditing Docker hosts for CIS compliance, scheduling recurring container assessments, or validating runtime hardening controls after a change. Keywords: docker-bench-security, CIS Docker Benchmark, audit script, pass fail warn, host configuration, remediation. Do not use for applying the daemon hardening itself - use hardening-docker-daemon-configuration.

# Performing Docker Bench Security Assessment
## Overview
Docker Bench for Security is an open-source script that checks dozens of common best practices around deploying Docker containers in production. Based on the CIS Docker Benchmark, it audits host configuration, Docker daemon settings, container images, runtime configurations, and security operations to generate a compliance report with pass/fail/warn results.
## When to Use
- When conducting security assessments that involve performing docker bench security assessment
- When following incident response procedures for related security events
- When performing scheduled security testing or auditing activities
- When validating security controls through hands-on testing
