This topic describes how to remediate findings in reports.
A report combines aggregate findings from Security Command Center and inventory data from Cloud Asset Inventory to give an aggregate view of risk across your organization. These reports are aligned with the CIS Google Cloud Computing Foundations Benchmark v1.2.0. For more information on this framework, see CIS Benchmarks.
As a best practice, start by remediating the findings that have the highest impact, as indicated in a Cyber Insurance Hub report.
Before you begin
Remediating CIS Benchmark findings
Cyber Insurance Hub has integrated with Security Command Center Premium tier to simplify the remediation process for CIS Benchmark findings. If you're a Security Command Center Standard tier customer, you can't use Security Command Center to inspect and remediate all individual CIS Benchmark findings on your Google Cloud resources. Upgrade to Premium tier to get full support. See Onboarding to Cyber Insurance Hub for more information.
