SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Manually validating AWS configurations against multiple compliance frameworks like CIS, PCI-DSS, HIPAA, and SOC 2 is time-intensive, prone to human error, and difficult to standardize across regular audit cycles.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Multi-Framework Compliance Validation: Runs pre-built checks for 4 major industry standards, covering IAM, logging, networking, and encryption requirements.
  • Automated Audit Reporting: Generates clear pass/fail results for each check, making it easy to identify gaps and track remediation progress.
  • Use Case: A cloud security engineer can use this skill to quickly scan their AWS account for unencrypted EBS volumes, missing MFA on root accounts, and open security groups before a scheduled PCI-DSS audit.

Quick Start

Use the aws-compliance-checker skill to run a full CIS AWS Foundations compliance audit of your active AWS account and get a list of all failing checks.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate AWS compliance audits for CIS and PCI-DSS frameworks?

Automate AWS compliance audits by running pre-built validation checks against CIS AWS Foundations, PCI-DSS, HIPAA, and SOC 2 standards to identify configuration gaps. This generates clear pass or fail results for IAM, logging, networking, and encryption controls.

What is the best way to check my AWS account for CIS Foundations compliance before an audit?

Checking CIS Foundations compliance involves scanning your active AWS account for unencrypted EBS volumes, missing root MFA, and open security groups. Automated validation produces a list of failing checks to track remediation progress efficiently.

Can I validate AWS IAM access controls against HIPAA and SOC 2 requirements?

Yes, you can validate AWS IAM access controls against HIPAA and SOC 2 requirements. The compliance check applies automated rules to verify IAM configurations, logging setups, network security rules, and data encryption controls aligned with these standards.

Does this compliance checker monitor AWS network security rules and data encryption controls?

This compliance checker monitors AWS network security rules and data encryption controls by validating cloud service configurations against major global security benchmarks. It automates checking for open security groups and unencrypted volumes.

How do I generate an automated audit report for AWS PCI-DSS compliance?

Generate an automated audit report for AWS PCI-DSS compliance by running pre-built checks that examine IAM, logging, networking, and encryption configurations. The output provides clear pass or fail results for each requirement.

What are the limitations of using automated compliance checks for AWS environments?

Automated compliance checks for AWS environments validate specific configuration states like IAM access controls and logging rules, but require manual remediation to resolve identified gaps. They serve pre-audit preparation and continuous monitoring rather than automatic vulnerability fixing.
