SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Identifies security and compliance gaps in Terraform changes for fintech infra, reducing the risk of misconfigurations slipping into production.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Public-exposure checks on S3, RDS, and security groups to block risky configurations.
  • Encryption at rest and in transit validations, including KMS and Secrets Manager usage.
  • IAM least-privilege and trust policy validation to prevent over-privilege and broad principal access.
  • State hygiene, tagging, and cost-attribution checks to improve traceability and governance.
  • Use Case: When a PR modifies backend or module configurations, automatically surface blockers and nit improvements before merge.

Quick Start

Review a Terraform PR to receive an automated fintech-grade security and compliance assessment.

FAQPage Schema
How do I review Terraform changes for AWS security and compliance gaps before merge?

Reviewing Terraform changes for AWS security involves automated checks on PRs affecting modules, backends, and resources to catch public exposure, encryption gaps, IAM over-privilege, and state-file hygiene. It applies severity tiers and remediation guidance.

What is Terraform state-file hygiene and why does it matter for fintech infrastructure?

Terraform state-file hygiene involves securing and managing the Terraform state backend to prevent sensitive data exposure. It matters for fintech infrastructure because state files contain unencrypted secrets and resource configurations, requiring strict access controls and compliance validation.

How do I automate IAM least-privilege validation for AWS Terraform modules?

Automating IAM least-privilege validation for AWS Terraform modules requires scanning PR changes to detect over-privileged roles and broad principal access. This enforces strict trust policy validation and prevents risky configurations from slipping into production.

Does this Terraform review tool check encryption at rest and in transit for AWS resources?

Yes, this Terraform review tool checks encryption at rest and in transit for AWS resources. It validates KMS usage and Secrets Manager configurations to ensure infrastructure changes meet fintech-grade security standards before merging.

Can I use this to catch public exposure on S3, RDS, and security groups in Terraform PRs?

Yes, you can use this to catch public exposure on S3, RDS, and security groups in Terraform PRs. It applies automated checks to block risky configurations and surface blockers with severity tiers and remediation guidance.

What are the limitations of automated Terraform compliance checks for fintech infrastructure?

Automated Terraform compliance checks for fintech infrastructure limit their scope to Terraform changes affecting AWS modules, backends, and resources. They focus on configuration hygiene and do not replace runtime security testing or manual architectural reviews.
