Policy Reporter

Policy Reporter is a Kubernetes policy report aggregation tool. It gathers policy reports generated by policy engines like Kyverno, OPA Gatekeeper, and others, providing a centralized view of policy compliance across your Kubernetes clusters. It offers a user-friendly interface to visualize policy violations, track trends, and quickly identify problematic resources. Policy Reporter helps teams improve security posture, enforce governance policies, and streamline auditing processes by providing a clear and concise overview of policy enforcement status.

Policy Reporter is an open-source Kubernetes tool designed to aggregate, visualize, and report on policy violations across your clusters. It provides a centralized overview of policy compliance by collecting policy reports generated by various policy engines, such as Kyverno, OPA Gatekeeper, and others that utilize the Kubernetes PolicyReport custom resource definition (CRD).

Key Features

• Policy Report Aggregation: Collects and aggregates PolicyReport CRDs from different policy engines within your Kubernetes clusters.
• Centralized Overview: Provides a single pane of glass to view all policy violations, misconfigurations, and security risks across your entire Kubernetes environment.
• User-Friendly Dashboard: Offers an optional web-based user interface for intuitive visualization of policy reports, enabling quick identification of problematic resources and trends.
• Metrics & Observability: Generates metrics that can be scraped by Prometheus and visualized in Grafana, allowing for integration into existing observability stacks.
• Integration with Policy Engines: Works seamlessly with popular policy engines like Kyverno, OPA Gatekeeper, and others that produce PolicyReport CRDs.
• Drill-Down Capabilities: Allows users to drill down into specific policy violations to view detailed information about affected resources and remediation steps.
• GitOps Friendly: Can be integrated into GitOps workflows to provide continuous feedback on policy compliance.

Benefits

• Improved Security Posture: Helps identify and address security misconfigurations and policy violations proactively.
• Enhanced Compliance: Streamlines the process of auditing and demonstrating compliance with security standards and internal policies.
• Faster Incident Response: Provides a clear and consolidated view of policy issues, accelerating the identification and resolution of security incidents.
• Operational Efficiency: Automates the collection and reporting of policy compliance data, reducing manual effort.
• Better Collaboration: Enables security, development, and operations teams to collaborate more effectively on policy enforcement.
• Increased Visibility: Offers deep insights into the policy enforcement status of your Kubernetes clusters.
