Feature Descriptions

With Checkov you can:

  • Run a variety of scan types
  • Enable Checkov to run as part of your CI/CD workflow
  • Create and contribute custom Checkov policies

Running Checkov

With Checkov you can scan a repository, branch, folder, or a single file with attribute-based misconfigurations or connection state errors. See CLI Command Reference.

When running Checkov, you can also:

  • Review scan results
  • Suppress or skip
  • Scan credentials and secrets
  • Scan Kubernetes clusters
  • Scan Terraform plan output and 3rd party modules

Integrating with CI/CD

In addition to integrating with your code repository, Checkov can also integrate with your automated build pipeline via CI/CD providers. When your build tests run, Checkov will scan your infrastructure as code files for misconfigurations and you can review the output directly in your CI pipeline.

  • Integrate with Jenkins
  • Integrate with Bitbucket Cloud Pipelines
  • Integrate with Github Actions
  • Integrate with Gitlab CI

Custom Policies

  • Create custom Python attribute policies
  • Create custom YAML attribute and composite policies
  • Custom policy examples
  • Share custom policies across repos
