Pulumi CIS Policy Pack
Enforce compliance with Center for Internet Security (CIS) Benchmarks.
Overview
The Pulumi CIS Policy Pack is a collection of policies designed to help organizations align their cloud infrastructure with the security best practices defined in the CIS Benchmarks for major cloud providers like AWS, Azure, and GCP. These benchmarks are a globally recognized standard for securing IT systems and data. By using this pack, teams can programmatically enforce CIS recommendations, hardening their infrastructure and reducing the attack surface.
✨ Key Features
- Policies mapped to CIS Benchmark controls
- Supports AWS, Azure, and GCP
- Helps harden cloud environments
- Integrates into Pulumi deployment previews
- Can be used as part of a larger compliance strategy
🎯 Key Differentiators
- Preventative enforcement, not just detective scanning
- Policies written in general-purpose languages
- Seamless integration with the Pulumi IaC workflow
Unique Value: Automate adherence to CIS security benchmarks by defining them as code, ensuring a hardened and compliant cloud environment from the ground up.
🎯 Use Cases (4)
✅ Best For
- Running the CIS policy pack in a CI/CD pipeline to fail builds that attempt to deploy insecurely configured resources.
💡 Check With Vendor
Verify these considerations match your specific requirements:
- Organizations that do not follow CIS benchmarks
- Policies for application-level security
🏆 Alternatives
Unlike traditional CSPM tools that report on non-compliance after the fact, this pack prevents it from happening in the first place by integrating checks directly into the deployment process.
