Remediation with Docker Scout: Viewing Recommendations

--- title: Remediation with Docker Scout description: Learn how Docker Scout can help you improve your software quality automatically, using remediation keywords: scout, supply chain, security, remediation, automation --- {{< summary-bar feature_name="Remediation with Docker Scout" >}} Docker Scout helps you remediate supply chain or security issues by providing recommendations based on policy evaluation results. Recommendations are suggested actions you can take that improve policy compliance, or that add metadata to images which enables Docker Scout to provide better evaluation results and recommendations. Docker Scout provides remediation advice for the default policies of the following policy types: - [Up-to-Date Base Images](#up-to-date-base-images-remediation) - [Supply Chain Attestations](#supply-chain-attestations-remediation)  > [!NOTE] > Guided remediation is not supported for custom policies. For images that violate policy, the recommendations focus on addressing compliance issues and fixing violations. For images where Docker Scout is unable to determine compliance, recommendations show you how to meet the prerequisites that ensure Docker Scout can successfully evaluate the policy. ## View recommendations Recommendations appear on the policy details pages of the Docker Scout Dashboard. To get to this page: 1. Go to the [Policies page](https://scout.docker.com/reports/policy) in the Docker Scout Dashboard. 2. Select a policy in the list. The policy details page groups evaluation results into two different tabs depending on the policy status: - Violations - Compliance unknown The **Violations** tab lists images that don't comply with the selected policy. The **Compliance unknown** tab lists images that Docker Scout is unable to determine the compliance status for. When compliance is unknown, Docker Scout needs more information about the image. To view recommended actions for an image, hover over one of the images in the list to reveal a **View fixes** button.

Docker Scout provides recommendations to remediate supply chain or security issues based on policy evaluation results. These recommendations can help improve policy compliance or add metadata to images. The recommendations appear on the policy details pages of the Docker Scout Dashboard under the 'Violations' and 'Compliance unknown' tabs. Users can view recommended actions for an image by hovering over it and selecting the 'View fixes' button.
