## When to Use
- Reviewing PRs that add new compliance frameworks
- Reviewing PRs that modify existing compliance frameworks
- Validating compliance framework JSON structure before merge

## Review Checklist (Critical)
| Check | Command/Method | Pass Criteria |
|-------|----------------|---------------|
| JSON Valid | `python3 -m json.tool file.json` | No syntax errors |
| All Checks Exist | Run validation script | 0 missing checks |
| No Duplicate IDs | Run validation script | 0 duplicate requirement IDs |
| CHANGELOG Entry | Manual review | Present under correct version |
| Dashboard File | Compare with existing | Follows established pattern |
| Framework Metadata | Manual review | All required fields populated |
---
## Commands
```bash
# 1. Validate JSON syntax
python3 -m json.tool prowler/compliance/{provider}/{framework}.json > /dev/null \
&& echo "Valid JSON" || echo "INVALID JSON"
# 2. Run full validation script
python3 skills/prowler-compliance-review/assets/validate_compliance.py \
prowler/compliance/{provider}/{framework}.json
# 3. Compare dashboard with existing (find similar framework)
diff dashboard/compliance/{new_framework}.py \
dashboard/compliance/{existing_framework}.py
# 4. Execute compliance monitoring initialization
python scripts/compliance_monitor.py
```

## Framework Structure Reference
Compliance frameworks are JSON files in: `prowler/compliance/{provider}/{framework}.json`
```json
{
"Framework": "CIS",
"Name": "CIS Provider Benchmark vX.Y.Z",
"Version": "X.Y",
"Provider": "AWS|Azure|GCP|...",
"Description": "Framework description...",
"Requirements": [
{
"Id": "1.1",
"Description": "Requirement description",
"Checks": ["check_name_1", "check_name_2"],
"Attributes": [
{
"Section": "1 Section Name",
"SubSection": "1.1 Subsection (optional)",
"Profile": "Level 1|Level 2",
"AssessmentStatus": "Automated|Manual",
"Description": "...",
"RationaleStatement": "...",
"ImpactStatement": "...",
"RemediationProcedure": "...",
"AuditProcedure": "...",
"AdditionalInformation": "...",
"References": "...",
"DefaultValue": "..."
}
]
}
]
}
```

## Common Issues
| Issue | How to Detect | Resolution |
|-------|---------------|------------|
| Missing checks | Validation script reports missing | Add check implementation or remove from Checks array |
| Duplicate IDs | Validation script reports duplicates | Ensure each requirement has unique ID |
| Empty Checks for Automated | AssessmentStatus is Automated but Checks is empty | Add checks or change to Manual |
| Wrong file location | Framework not in `prowler/compliance/{provider}/` | Move to correct directory |
| Missing dashboard file | No corresponding `dashboard/compliance/{framework}.py` | Create dashboard file following pattern |
| CHANGELOG missing | Not under correct version section | Add entry to prowler/CHANGELOG.md |
---
## Dashboard File Pattern
Dashboard files must be in `dashboard/compliance/` and follow this exact pattern:
```python
import warnings
from dashboard.common_methods import get_section_containers_cis
warnings.filterwarnings("ignore")
def get_table(data):
aux = data[
[
"REQUIREMENTS_ID",
"REQUIREMENTS_DESCRIPTION",
"REQUIREMENTS_ATTRIBUTES_SECTION",
"CHECKID",
"STATUS",
"REGION",
"ACCOUNTID",
"RESOURCEID",
]
].copy()
return get_section_containers_cis(
aux, "REQUIREMENTS_ID", "REQUIREMENTS_ATTRIBUTES_SECTION"
)
```
---
## Testing the Compliance Framework
After validation passes, test the framework with Prowler:
```bash
# Verify framework is detected
poetry run python prowler-cli.py {provider} --list-compliance | grep {framework}
# Run a quick test with a single check from the framework
poetry run python prowler-cli.py {provider} --compliance {framework} --check {check_name}
# Run full compliance scan (dry-run with limited checks)
poetry run python prowler-cli.py {provider} --compliance {framework} --checks-limit 5
# Generate compliance report in multiple formats
poetry run python prowler-cli.py {provider} --compliance {framework} -M csv json html
# Initialize compliance monitoring infrastructure
python scripts/compliance_monitor.py
```
