Compliance Automation with Progress Chef

Unlock Continuous Compliance at Scale

The Progress® Chef® solution helps teams turn policy goals into continuous, testable and automated enforcement. Here's how you can apply it:

Codify Compliance as Code

Write human-readable rules that are version-controlled, reusable and testable - no more scattered spreadsheets or ad hoc checklists.

Shift Compliance Left

Catch configuration violations early in the development lifecycle, before they ever reach production.

Audit Anything, Anywhere

Run compliance scans across bare metal, VMs, cloud accounts, containers and even air-gapped environments.

Automate Remediation

Connect findings to actions. Automatically fix issues at the source instead of waiting for post-incident recovery.

Policy Enforcement Starts with a Shared Language

Security, DevOps, and compliance teams often speak different operational languages, which leads to silos, friction and audit delays. The Chef solution bridges this gap by turning compliance rules into executable, version-controlled code that everyone can work with. The Chef platform enables you to: (一)Validate system state continuously (二)Create reusable controls in YAML (三)Scan anything - Linux, Windows, macOS, containers, clouds, endpoints (四)Integrate directly into pipelines and audit systems

Cerner Achieved 95% Less Rework and 30% Faster Audit Readiness

When Kyle Harper (then DevOps Manager, now Lead Engineering Manager) led Cerner's compliance overhaul with Chef, his team reimagined their approach entirely - treating controls, waivers, and remediation as reusable code. This shift reduced friction between teams, made audits easier to prepare for, and helped standardize enforcement across cloud and on-prem environments. Read Case Study
