# Update to dynamic compliance packages in your Regulatory Compliance dashboard

# Customizing the set of standards in your regulatory compliance dashboard

Azure Security Center continually compares the configuration of your resources with requirements in industry standards, regulations, and benchmarks. The **regulatory compliance dashboard** provides insights into your compliance posture based on how you're meeting specific compliance controls and requirements.

With the **dynamic compliance packages** feature, Security Center *automatically improves its coverage of industry standards over time*.

One standard for which you can track your compliance posture is [Azure CIS 1.1.0](https://www.cisecurity.org/benchmark/azure/) (more formally, the "CIS Microsoft Azure Foundations Benchmark version 1.1.0"). The representation of Azure CIS that initially appears in your compliance dashboard relies on a static set of rules that is included with Security Center.

## Overview of compliance packages
2524

26-
Compliance packages are essentially initiatives defined in Azure Policy. They can be assigned to your selected scope (subscription, management group, and so on). To see compliance data mapped as assessments in your dashboard, add a compliance package to your management group or subscription from within the Security Policy. Adding a compliance package effectively assigns the regulatory compliance initiative to your selected scope. In this way, you can track newly published regulatory initiatives as compliance standards in your dashboard. When Microsoft releases new content for the initiative (new policies that map to more controls in the standard), the additional content appears automatically in your dashboard.
25+
Industry standards, regulatory standards, and benchmarks are represented in Security Center as *compliance packages*. Each package is an initiative defined in Azure Policy. To see compliance data mapped as assessments in your dashboard, add a compliance package to your management group or subscription from within the **Security policy** page. (Learn more about Azure Policy and initiatives in [Working with security policies](tutorial-security-policy.md).)

The dynamic compliance package for the Azure CIS benchmark, **Azure CIS 1.1.0 (new)**, improves on the original *static* version by:

When you've onboarded a standard or benchmark to your selected scope, the standard appears in your regulatory compliance dashboard with all associated compliance data mapped as assessments. You can also download summary reports for any of the standards that have been onboarded.

Microsoft also tracks the regulatory standards themselves and automatically improves its coverage in some of the packages over time. When Microsoft releases new content for the initiative (new policies that map to more controls in the standard), the additional content appears automatically in your dashboard.

> One standard which improves over time as Microsoft releases new content is **Azure CIS 1.1.0 (new)** (more formally, the [CIS Microsoft Azure Foundations Benchmark version 1.1.0](https://www.cisecurity.org/benchmark/azure/)). You'll need to add this to your dashboard alongside "Azure CIS 1.1.0", the representation of Azure CIS that is configured by default in every Security Center environment. That package relies on a static set of rules. The newer package includes more policies and will automatically update over time. Update to the new dynamic package as described below.

### Update to the Azure CIS 1.1.0 (new) dynamic compliance package
37+
You can add standards such as NIST SP 800-53 R4, SWIFT CSP CSCF-v2020, UK Official and UK NHS, Canada Federal PBMM, and Azure CIS 1.1.0 (new) - a more complete representation of Azure CIS 1.1.0.

In addition, you can add **Azure Security Benchmark**, the Microsoft-authored, Azure-specific guidelines for security and compliance best practices based on common compliance frameworks. ([Learn more about Azure Security Benchmark](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/security/benchmarks/introduction).)

Additional standards will be supported in the dashboard as they become available.
