Module 03: Compliance Frameworks Landscape

Track 1 · Foundations · Time: ~1h · Pass: 8/10

Scenario

Cloudsmiths is pursuing SOC 2 Type II for the US business, ENS for the Spanish subsidiary, and is in scope for PCI-DSS because it touches card data. Your CISO asks you to map which Prowler frameworks you'll need and how they overlap, so audit prep doesn't duplicate work. Welcome to the world of cloud compliance.

  2. Name the major frameworks Prowler supports and their use cases.
  3. Map the same Prowler check to multiple frameworks.
