Is there any ability to contribute to the development of RuleSets?  I'd be interested in contributing to potentially help deliver that capability to the community sooner.

Unfortunately there are significant gaps in CheckPoint's implementation of the CIS v1.3 checks.  There are checks that you had v1.2 that are still relevant in v1.3 that weren't included.  For example, CIS v1.3 Recommendation 1.4 - Ensure no root user account access key exists, which was included in the CheckPoint CIS v1.2 RuleSet.

Thank you, we will add it.

Have you seen another gap between the versions?
