Create a Profile

InSpec Profiles organize multiple controls into a reusable artifact that can be described and versionsed

• To create a Profile:

  • inspec init profile [profile_name]

  • exmaple: inspec init profile my_profile

• To check if an instance exist

  • inspec detect -t [target_instance]

  • example: inspec detect -t docker://[container_id]

• To load the profile on the target

  • inspec exec -t [target_instance] [profile_name]

  • example: inspec exec -t docker://[container_id] my_profile
