Mondoo
Kubernetes Security Posture Management (KSPM)

Fix Kubernetes misconfigurations, don't just find them

Mondoo finds the misconfigurations, risky RBAC, and drift that expose your clusters, prioritizes what actually puts you at risk, and ships the fix through your GitOps workflow.

An illustration of a secured Kubernetes cluster: a control plane connected to worker nodes running pods, hardened and kept fixed by Mondoo.Control planeWorker nodes

Mondoo secures every layer of your cluster: control plane, RBAC, workloads, and network.

Clusters drift between scans

Every rollout, new namespace, and upgrade can loosen RBAC, widen a network policy, or drift a node off the CIS Kubernetes Benchmark.

Tools that only scan manifests in CI miss it, because the drift happens in the running cluster, between scans.

A posture-over-time line against a secure baseline. At each of three deploys the posture drifts below the baseline, and at each dip Mondoo closes the gap and returns posture to the baseline.Secure baselineDeploy 1Deploy 2Deploy 3Mondoo closes itMondoo closes itMondoo closes it
Every rollout introduces drift. Mondoo closes it before the next one.

How Mondoo closes the loop

Mondoo does not stop at detection. AI agents run the full remediation loop against your clusters, and you approve every change.

01

Detect

Agentless assessment across every cluster, node, workload, and control plane surfaces misconfigurations, risky RBAC, weak network policy, and drift from the CIS Kubernetes Benchmark in real time.

02

Prioritize

Every finding is scored by real exploitability and blast radius inside your cluster, not raw severity, so the misconfigurations an attacker could chain rise to the top. Prioritization beyond CVSS.

03

Ship

Mondoo delivers the remediation as corrected manifests, policy, and admission rules in a pull request through your GitOps and Terraform workflows. When a fix has to wait, it proposes a mitigation, such as tightening a network policy or RBAC binding, so risk drops in the meantime.

04

Verify

Every fix is re-checked against the live cluster, proven closed, and written back as evidence, and Mondoo holds it closed through the next rollout so drift does not creep back.

You review and approve every fix; the agents do the heavy lifting. That is the difference between a scanner and a service: we sell the fix, not the finding.

Four layers, one posture

Cluster risk is not one setting. It stacks across four layers, and Mondoo assesses and fixes across all of them.

Control plane and nodes

API server, etcd, kubelet, and node hardening measured against the CIS Kubernetes Benchmark, with the fix shipped, not just the failing check reported.

RBAC and identity

Over-permissive roles, wildcard bindings, and stale service accounts closed down to least privilege before they become an attack path.

Workloads and pod security

Privileged pods, missing security contexts, exposed secrets, and weak pod security standards remediated in the manifest.

Network and admission control

Open network policies and missing admission rules tightened so only what you intend can run and talk.

Mapped to the CIS Kubernetes Benchmark and to SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, and NIS2, and held in place with policy as code, so posture stays fixed instead of drifting back.

Where KSPM fits

A traditional KSPM detects cluster misconfigurations and reports on compliance. Useful, but detection-only. Mondoo covers KSPM and closes the loop by shipping and verifying the fix, and it joins up with the layers around it:

The cloud around the clusterCSPM
The images inside the clusterContainer and image security

Buy KSPM on its own and you get another dashboard. Run it inside Mondoo and cluster posture becomes part of one closed remediation loop.
