SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires pyyaml, boto3, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Research AWS compliance baselines (CIS, NIST, PCI, HIPAA, SOC 2, ISO 27001, AWS FSBP, or any AWS-published standard) and produce a structured YAML rule set that downstream tooling turns into AWS Config rules and Security Hub controls. This skill provides deterministic scaffolding that can be loaded into policy engines and automation workflows, reducing guesswork and safeguarding audit readiness.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Skeleton generation from AWS Config conformance packs or Security Hub controls to accelerate policy authoring
  • Bulk enrichment from the bundled managed-rule metadata snapshot to fill severity, rules, and remediation templates
  • Framework-wide merging and cross-framework reconciliation for multi-standard policies

Quick Start

Parse a conformance pack and run bulk enrichment to generate a production-ready YAML policy unit.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate AWS Config conformance pack YAML from CIS or PCI DSS baselines?

Generate AWS Config conformance pack YAML from CIS or PCI DSS baselines by parsing compliance standards into structured skeleton rules, then applying bulk metadata enrichment for severity and remediation templates to create deployable policy units.

Can I merge multiple AWS compliance frameworks like SOC 2 and ISO 27001 into a single Security Hub policy?

You can merge multiple AWS compliance frameworks like SOC 2 and ISO 27001 into a single Security Hub policy using cross-framework reconciliation, which aligns overlapping controls and outputs a unified, deployable YAML rule set.

What is the best way to automate YAML policy authoring for AWS Security Hub controls?

Automate YAML policy authoring for AWS Security Hub controls by generating deterministic scaffolding from existing conformance packs, then filling gaps using a managed-rule metadata snapshot to ensure complete severity and remediation tagging.

Does this approach support adding provenance tags for audit-ready AWS Config rules?

This approach supports adding provenance tags for audit-ready AWS Config rules by appending metadata origin tracking to the generated YAML, ensuring downstream automation workflows maintain strict compliance evidence for audits.

How do I fill missing remediation templates when creating AWS Audit Manager YAML rules?

Fill missing remediation templates when creating AWS Audit Manager YAML rules by running bulk enrichment against the bundled managed-rule metadata snapshot, which automatically injects standardized remediation actions and control parameters.

Can I use boto3 to automate the deployment of generated AWS compliance YAML policies?

You can use boto3 to automate the deployment of generated AWS compliance YAML policies because the output is structured YAML, allowing infrastructure-as-code pipelines or boto3 scripts to push conformance packs directly to AWS Config.
