Security Health Analytics and Web Security Scanner detectors generate vulnerability finding types that are available in Security Command Center.
Detectors and compliance
The following tables describe the detector types and specific vulnerability finding types that Security Health Analytics and Web Security Scanner can generate. You can filter findings by detector name and finding type using the Security Command Center Vulnerabilities tab in the Google Cloud Console.
These tables include a description of the mapping between supported detectors and the best effort mapping to relevant compliance regimes.
The CIS Google Cloud Foundation 1.0 mappings have been reviewed and certified by the Center for Internet Security for alignment for the CIS Google Cloud Computing Foundations Benchmark v1.0.0. Additional compliance mappings are included for reference and are not provided or reviewed by the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard or the OWASP Foundation. You should refer to CIS Google Cloud Computing Foundations Benchmark v1.0.0 (CIS Google Cloud Foundation 1.0), Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard 3.2.1 (PCI-DSS v3.2.1), OWASP Top Ten, National Institute of Standards and Technology 800-53 (NIST 800-53), and International Organization for Standardization 27001 (ISO 27001) for how to check for these violations manually.
This functionality is only intended for you to monitor for compliance controls violations. The mappings are not provided for use as the basis of, or as a substitute for, the audit, certification or report of compliance of your products or services with any regulatory or industry benchmarks or standards.
