When managing security and compliance in Kubernetes, it’s easy to get overwhelmed. As a platform engineer or administrator, you might look at your cluster or namespace and find hundreds or even thousands of violations. But not all violations are created equal. Some are critical security risks that demand immediate attention, while others are best practices that can be addressed later.

The problem? Without clear guidance, most teams end up doing nothing. Not because they don’t care – but because they don’t know where to start.

That’s exactly the problem we solve with Violation Summarization and Prioritization in Nirmata Control Hub.

A TL;DR for Your K8s Cluster’s Health

With Nirmata Control Hub, you don’t have to dig through pages of findings and all the time spent therein. With a timely glance, you get a summary report for your entire cluster or specific namespaces, showing:

• Total number of violations
• Affected namespaces
• Top security risks
• Recommended actions

What to Fix First – and Why

Nirmata Control Hub won’t just tell you what’s wrong. We prioritize violations into clear buckets:

• 🔥 Priority 1: Immediate Attention
  High-impact misconfigurations that expose your workloads to real risk – fix these ASAP.
• 🚨 Priority 2: Important but Not Urgent
  Still important, but can be queued up for your next sprint.
• ℹ️ Priority 3: Minor / Best Practices
  Clean-up tasks and optimizations – ideal for long-term hygiene.

This intelligent triage lets your team focus on what matters most – without getting distracted by noise.

How to Fix It: In-Line Remediation Guidance

Every prioritized finding comes with clear remediation suggestions. For example:

• Set allowPrivilegeEscalation: false in Kubernetes Pods that don’t need escalated privileges
• Explicitly set the value for those that do – for clarity and control
• Review workloads in system namespaces to enforce security best practices

This built-in guidance significantly reduces the mean time to remediate (MTTR) – especially for large or complex environments.

Tie It All Together with Jira Integration

Found a critical violation? Create a Jira ticket right from the dashboard. Assign it to the right owner based on cluster or namespace. Track, manage, and resolve violations without switching tools.

This seamless integration empowers platform teams to embed security workflows into their existing processes, increasing accountability and closing the loop faster.
