+
+Security settings for Pods are typically applied by using [security
+contexts](/docs/tasks/configure-pod-container/security-context/). Security Contexts allow for the
+definition of privilege and access controls on a per-Pod basis.
+
+The enforcement and policy-based definition of cluster requirements of security contexts has
+previously been achieved using [Pod Security Policy](/docs/concepts/policy/pod-security-policy/). A
+_Pod Security Policy_ is a cluster-level resource that controls security sensitive aspects of the
+Pod specification.
+
+However, numerous means of policy enforcement have arisen that augment or replace the use of
+PodSecurityPolicy. The intent of this page is to detail recommended Pod security profiles, decoupled
+from any specific instantiation.

+
+## Policy Types
+
+There is an immediate need for base policy definitions to broadly cover the security spectrum. These
+should range from highly restricted to highly flexible:
+
+- **_Privileged_** - Unrestricted policy, providing the widest possible level of permissions. This
+  policy allows for known privilege escalations.
+- **_Baseline/Default_** - Minimally restrictive policy while preventing known privilege
+  escalations. Allows the default (minimally specified) Pod configuration.
+- **_Restricted_** - Heavily restricted policy, following current Pod hardening best practices.
+
+## Policies
+
+### Privileged
+
+The Privileged policy is purposely-open, and entirely unrestricted. This type of policy is typically
+aimed at system- and infrastructure-level workloads managed by privileged, trusted users.
+
+The privileged policy is defined by an absence of restrictions. For blacklist-oriented enforcement
+mechanisms (such as gatekeeper), the privileged profile may be an absence of applied constraints
+rather than an instantiated policy. In contrast, for a whitelist oriented mechanism (such as Pod
+Security Policy) the privileged policy should enable all controls (disable all restrictions).
+
+### Baseline/Default
+
+The Baseline/Default policy is aimed at ease of adoption for common containerized workloads while
+preventing known privilege escalations. This policy is targeted at application operators and
+developers of non-critical applications. The following listed controls should be
+enforced/disallowed:
+

+## Policy Instantiation
+
+Decoupling policy definition from policy instantiation allows for a common understanding and
+consistent language of policies across clusters, independent of the underlying enforcement
+mechanism.
+
+As mechanisms mature, they will be defined below on a per-policy basis. The methods of enforcement
+of individual policies are not defined here.
+
+[**PodSecurityPolicy**](/docs/concepts/policy/pod-security-policy/)

+- [Privileged](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubernetes/website/master/content/en/examples/policy/privileged-psp.yaml)
+- [Baseline](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubernetes/website/master/content/en/examples/policy/baseline-psp.yaml)
+- [Restricted](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubernetes/website/master/content/en/examples/policy/restricted-psp.yaml)
+
+## FAQ
+
+### Why isn't there a profile between privileged and default?
+
+The three profiles defined here have a clear linear progression from most secure (restricted) to least
+secure (privileged), and cover a broad set of workloads. Privileges required above the baseline
+policy are typically very application specific, so we do not offer a standard profile in this
+niche. This is not to say that the privileged profile should always be used in this case, but that
+policies in this space need to be defined on a case-by-case basis.
+
+SIG Auth may reconsider this position in the future, should a clear need for other profiles arise.
+
+### What's the difference between a security policy and a security context?
+
+[Security Contexts](/docs/tasks/configure-pod-container/security-context/) configure Pods and
+Containers at runtime. Security contexts are defined as part of the Pod and container specifications
+in the Pod manifest, and represent parameters to the container runtime.
+
+Security policies are control plane mechanisms to enforce specific settings in the Security Context,
+as well as other parameters outside the Security Contex. As of February 2020, the current native
+solution for enforcing these security policies is [Pod Security
+Policy](/docs/concepts/policy/pod-security-policy/) - a mechanism for centrally enforcing security
+policy on Pods across a cluster. Other alternatives for enforcing security policy are being
+developed in the Kubernetes ecosystem, such as [OPA
+Gatekeeper](https://github.com/open-policy-agent/gatekeeper).
+
+### What profiles should I apply to my Windows Pods?
+
+Windows in Kubernetes has some limitations and differentiators from standard Linux-based
+workloads. Specifically, the Pod SecurityContext fields [have no effect on
+Windows](/docs/setup/production-environment/windows/intro-windows-in-kubernetes/#v1-podsecuritycontext). As
+such, no standardized Pod Security profiles currently exists.
+
+### What about sandboxed Pods?
+
+There is not currently an API standard that controls whether a Pod is considered sandboxed or
+not. Sandbox Pods may be identified by the use of a sandboxed runtime (such as gVisor or Kata
+Containers), but there is no standard definition of what a sandboxed runtime is.
+
+The protections necessary for sandboxed workloads can differ from others. For example, the need to
+restrict privileged permissions is lessened when the workload is isolated from the underlying
+kernel. This allows for workloads requiring heightened permissions to still be isolated.
+
+Additionally, the protection of sandboxed workloads is highly dependent on the method of
+sandboxing. As such, no single ‘recommended’ policy is recommended for all sandboxed workloads.
