You can view a history of changes to the security checks made up to 12 months
in the past, grouped together by the Center for Internet Security (CIS) and the National
Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) frameworks. For each framework, you’ll see
a list of controls as well as the percentage of current and average compliance rate,
total number of best practice checks, and the number of failed checks for each
control.
Interact with the chart and the list to see the relationship between controls
and their historical statistics. View details of individual controls and their
associated checks, and select a best practice check to view the firewall configuration
that is failing the check.
