Prowler allows you to execute checks based on requirements defined in compliance frameworks. By default, it will execute and give you an overview of the status of each compliance framework: You can find CSVs containing detailed compliance results in the compliance folder within Prowler’s output folder.

​
Execute Prowler based on Compliance Frameworks

Prowler can analyze your environment based on a specific compliance framework and get more details, to do it, you can use option --compliance: 
prowler <provider> --compliance <compliance_framework>
Standard results will be shown and additionally the framework information as the sample below for CIS AWS 2.0. For details a CSV file has been generated as well.
If Prowler can’t find a resource related with a check from a compliance requirement, this requirement won’t appear on the output
## List Available Compliance Frameworks To see which compliance frameworks are covered by Prowler, use the --list-compliance option: 
prowler <provider> --list-compliance
Or you can visit Prowler Hub. ## List Requirements of Compliance Frameworks To list requirements for a compliance framework, use the --list-compliance-requirements option: 
prowler <provider> --list-compliance-requirements <compliance_framework(s)>
