SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

It reduces insecure AWS configurations and compliance gaps by evaluating real infrastructure-as-code and configuration files against the CIS Amazon Web Services Foundations Benchmark v3.0.0.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • CIS Benchmark Coverage (Sections 1–5): Evaluates Identity & Access Management, Storage, Logging, Monitoring, and Networking recommendations for a hardened baseline.
  • Prioritized Findings with Evidence: Produces Pass/Fail/Not Evaluable results including the relevant CIS recommendation ID, severity, and remediation guidance.
  • IaC- and Config-Aware Review: Scans Terraform, CloudFormation, CDK outputs, IAM policy documents, and AWS logging/monitoring configuration files using globbing and grep-style checks.

Quick Start

Run an AWS CIS posture scan on your repository by invoking the skill on the target folder that contains your AWS infrastructure-as-code files.

FAQPage Schema
How do I audit my AWS Terraform infrastructure against the CIS benchmark?

You can audit AWS Terraform configurations against the CIS benchmark by scanning your infrastructure-as-code files to detect IAM, S3, logging, and networking misconfigurations, producing a prioritized report with CIS control IDs and remediation guidance.

Can I check CloudFormation and CDK files for AWS security posture gaps?

Yes, you can check CloudFormation and CDK files for AWS security posture gaps by scanning the infrastructure-as-code outputs against the CIS Amazon Web Services Foundations Benchmark to identify configuration issues across IAM, storage, and networking.

What is evaluated during an AWS CIS compliance audit?

An AWS CIS compliance audit evaluates Identity and Access Management, Storage, Logging, Monitoring, and Networking configurations against the CIS Amazon Web Services Foundations Benchmark v3.0.0 to detect insecure settings and compliance gaps.

Does the AWS CIS benchmark scan handle missing IAM or CloudTrail configuration data?

When IAM or CloudTrail configuration data is missing during the AWS CIS benchmark scan, the tool handles the gap by marking those specific controls as Not Evaluable rather than failing them, ensuring accurate reporting.

What is the best way to review IAM policies for AWS compliance gaps?

The best way to review IAM policies for AWS compliance gaps is to scan IAM policy documents alongside Terraform and CloudFormation files using the CIS benchmark, which produces evidence-backed findings with severity levels and remediation steps.
