FAQPage Schema
How do I create a security compliance rule scaffold with rule.yml and tests?▼

To create a security compliance rule scaffold, use a guided process that generates rule.yml, OVAL, Bash, Ansible, and tests skeletons. This enforces ID formats, validates locations, and links components within the guide hierarchy.

What is the process for adding a new security rule to ComplianceAsCode?▼

Adding a new security rule involves determining its proper location in the guide hierarchy, validating the rule ID format, and updating component mappings and profile references to ensure full integration into the repository.

Can I use templates to generate security rules and what happens if they are unavailable?▼

You can use templates to generate security rules, with fallback non-templated generation available if templates are missing. Both approaches create complete rule structures, including necessary metadata and tests.

Does the rule creation workflow validate rule ID formats and existing rules?▼

The rule creation workflow enforces strict ID formats and detects existing rules to prevent duplication. It validates metadata and determines the proper directory location within the guide hierarchy.

How do I update profiles and components after generating a security rule?▼

Updating profiles and components happens automatically as part of the rule generation workflow. The process updates component mappings and profile references to ensure the new security rule integrates properly into the repository.
