How Can I Automate Compliance Evidence Gathering from AWS?

Asked By TechyTurtle92 On

I'm gearing up for audits and tired of the manual process of taking screenshots of AWS Config, IAM, CloudTrail, and other services. It's such a hassle and doesn't scale well. I'm looking for tools or solutions that can automatically gather this data on a schedule and format it as evidence for compliance frameworks like SOC 2 or ISO 27001. Any recommendations?

It can be tough, but consider switching auditors. Some auditors provide automated integrations that can connect with your account via IAM Role, allowing you to generate reports on demand. For instance, if you need to show that you're encrypting data, you can get a report detailing all your S3 buckets and their encryption status with just a click.

I haven't used it myself, but I came across a tool called the AWS Security Hub Compliance Analyzer on GitHub. It seems pretty useful for compliance-related tasks.

From my experience, it really depends on your auditors. Some are pretty strict and prefer screenshots over automated reports. You might want to ask them directly what they accept.

Definitely go for AWS Audit Manager; you can use its outputs as your evidence. Also, I've had some success with third-party services like feha.io.

If you're looking for a native option, check out AWS Audit Manager. It can automate a lot of this for you. For third-party solutions, Vanta and OneTrust are also worth considering.
