This comprehensive white paper explains how Kubernetes affects governance, compliance, and security controls across the NIST CSF 2.0 functions. It details challenges such as ephemeral workloads, configuration drift, access governance, network segmentation, and data-sovereignty issues. It outlines compliance-as-code, RBAC, policy enforcement, encryption, monitoring, SIEM integration, immutable backups, and disaster-recovery planning. Extensive diagrams (pages 6–14) map Kubernetes-native capabilities to NIST categories, offering a structured approach to secure cloud-native operations.
