Frequently Asked Questions

What Kubernetes versions are supported?
All templates and checks are designed for Kubernetes 1.25 and above. This covers Pod Security Standards (which replaced PodSecurityPolicy), modern RBAC features, and current API versions. Most checks are also applicable to managed services like EKS, GKE, and AKS.
Do I need to install anything?
No special tooling required. You just need kubectl access to your cluster. The YAML templates can be applied directly with kubectl apply -f. The Professional tier also includes Helm charts if you prefer that workflow.
What's the difference between the tiers?
Starter gives you the complete checklist and all 25 YAML templates -- perfect for individual engineers. Professional adds Helm charts, Kustomize overlays, and compliance framework references (CIS Benchmarks, MITRE ATT&CK) for teams standardizing on security. Enterprise includes everything plus SOC2 & CIS compliance mapping, CI/CD pipeline templates (GitHub Actions + GitLab CI), editable source with an organization-wide commercial license, and priority email support.
Is there a money-back guarantee?
Yes. All plans come with a 30-day money-back guarantee. If the checklist and templates don't improve your cluster security, we'll refund your purchase -- no questions asked.
Can I use this for multiple clusters?
Yes. Your purchase covers unlimited clusters within your organization. The templates are designed to be reusable across development, staging, and production environments.
Do you offer team licenses?
Yes. For teams of 5 or more, contact us at support@k8s-security.pro for volume pricing. Enterprise tier customers automatically get team license terms included.
