To review infrastructure as code for OWASP security risks, you need an evidence-based assessment of runtime identities, exposed management surfaces, hardening defaults, and secret handling across your manifests and deployment configurations.

Common privilege and isolation weaknesses in IaC configurations include excessive service account access, poor container settings, exposed management surfaces, and weak tenant isolation boundaries across deployment manifests and runtime defaults.

Checking deployment pipelines for supply-chain trust involves evaluating modules, images, plugins, and dependencies for hardening gaps, alongside verifying scanning, policy enforcement, and rollback safeguards across local, CI, staging, and production environments.

Yes, you can evaluate container and tenant trust boundaries by inspecting runtime defaults, privilege boundaries, and deployment controls to find isolation failures and excessive access before they expose your control planes.

The best way to ensure operational assurance for IaC is to verify scanning, policy enforcement, monitoring, and rollback readiness across local, CI, staging, and production environments against established security guidance.

Infrastructure as code can fail security reviews despite scanning if there are unverified privilege boundaries, weak secret handling, missing policy enforcement, or inadequate rollback safeguards across the deployment and operational workflow.
