# AWS Security Audit
Perform comprehensive security assessments of AWS environments to identify vulnerabilities and misconfigurations.
## When to Use
Use this skill when you need to audit AWS security posture, identify vulnerabilities, or prepare for compliance assessments.
## Audit Categories
**Identity & Access Management**
- Overly permissive IAM policies
- Unused IAM users and roles
- MFA enforcement gaps
- Root account usage
- Access key rotation
**Network Security**
- Open security groups (0.0.0.0/0)
- Public S3 buckets
- Unencrypted data in transit
- VPC flow logs disabled
- Network ACL misconfigurations
**Data Protection**
- Unencrypted EBS volumes
- Unencrypted RDS instances
- S3 bucket encryption disabled
- Backup policies missing
- KMS key rotation disabled
**Logging & Monitoring**
- CloudTrail disabled
- CloudWatch alarms missing
- VPC Flow Logs disabled
- S3 access logging disabled
- Config recording disabled
## Security Audit Commands
### IAM Security Checks
```bash
# List users without MFA
aws iam get-credential-report --output text | \
awk -F, '$4=="false" && $1!="<root_account>" {print $1}'
# Find unused IAM users (no activity in 90 days)
aws iam list-users --query 'Users[*].[UserName]' --output text | \
while read user; do
last_used=$(aws iam get-user --user-name "$user" \
--query 'User.PasswordLastUsed' --output text)
echo "$user: $last_used"
done
# List overly permissive policies (AdministratorAccess)
aws iam list-policies --scope Local \
--query 'Policies[?PolicyName==`AdministratorAccess`]'
# Find access keys older than 90 days
aws iam list-users --query 'Users[*].UserName' --output text | \
while read user; do

--output text)
if echo "$attrs" | grep -q "all"; then
echo "PUBLIC SNAPSHOT: $snapshot"
fi
done
# Check KMS key rotation
aws kms list-keys --query 'Keys[*].KeyId' --output text | \
while read key; do
rotation=$(aws kms get-key-rotation-status --key-id "$key" \
--query 'KeyRotationEnabled' --output text 2>/dev/null)
if [ "$rotation" = "False" ]; then
echo "Rotation disabled: $key"
fi
done
```
### Logging & Monitoring Checks
```bash
# Check CloudTrail status
aws cloudtrail describe-trails \
--query 'trailList[*].[Name,IsMultiRegionTrail,LogFileValidationEnabled]' \
--output table
# Verify CloudTrail is logging
aws cloudtrail get-trail-status --name my-trail \
--query 'IsLogging'
# Check if AWS Config is enabled
aws configservice describe-configuration-recorders \
--query 'ConfigurationRecorders[*].[name,roleARN]' \
--output table
# List S3 buckets without access logging
aws s3api list-buckets --query 'Buckets[*].Name' --output text | \
while read bucket; do
logging=$(aws s3api get-bucket-logging --bucket "$bucket" 2>&1)
if ! echo "$logging" | grep -q "LoggingEnabled"; then
echo "No access logging: $bucket"
fi
done
```

## Security Score Calculator
```python
#!/usr/bin/env python3
# security-score.py
import boto3
import json
def calculate_security_score():
iam = boto3.client('iam')
ec2 = boto3.client('ec2')
s3 = boto3.client('s3')
score = 100
issues = []
# Check MFA
try:
report = iam.get_credential_report()
users_without_mfa = 0
# Parse report and count
if users_without_mfa > 0:
score -= 10
issues.append(f"{users_without_mfa} users without MFA")
except:
pass
# Check open security groups
sgs = ec2.describe_security_groups()
open_sgs = 0
for sg in sgs['SecurityGroups']:
for perm in sg.get('IpPermissions', []):
for ip_range in perm.get('IpRanges', []):
if ip_range.get('CidrIp') == '0.0.0.0/0':
open_sgs += 1
break
if open_sgs > 0:
score -= 15
issues.append(f"{open_sgs} security groups open to internet")
# Check unencrypted volumes
volumes = ec2.describe_volumes()
unencrypted = sum(1 for v in volumes['Volumes'] if not v['Encrypted'])
if unencrypted > 0:
score -= 20
issues.append(f"{unencrypted} unencrypted EBS volumes")
print(f"Security Score: {score}/100")
print("\nIssues Found:")

## Compliance Mapping
**CIS AWS Foundations Benchmark**
- 1.1: Root account usage
- 1.2-1.14: IAM policies and MFA
- 2.1-2.9: Logging (CloudTrail, Config, VPC Flow Logs)
- 4.1-4.3: Monitoring and alerting
**PCI-DSS**
- Requirement 1: Network security controls
- Requirement 2: Secure configurations
- Requirement 8: Access controls and MFA
- Requirement 10: Logging and monitoring
**HIPAA**
- Access controls (IAM)
- Audit controls (CloudTrail)
- Encryption (EBS, RDS, S3)
- Transmission security (TLS/SSL)
## Remediation Priorities
**Critical (Fix Immediately)**
- Root account access keys
- Public RDS snapshots
- Security groups open to 0.0.0.0/0 on sensitive ports
- CloudTrail disabled
**High (Fix Within 7 Days)**
- Users without MFA
- Unencrypted data at rest
- Missing VPC Flow Logs
- Overly permissive IAM policies
**Medium (Fix Within 30 Days)**
- Old access keys (>90 days)
- Missing S3 access logging
- Unused IAM users
- KMS key rotation disabled
## Example Prompts
- "Run a comprehensive security audit on my AWS account"
- "Check for IAM security issues"
- "Find all unencrypted resources"
- "Generate a security compliance report"
- "Calculate my AWS security score"
## Best Practices
- Run audits weekly
- Automate with Lambda/EventBridge
- Export results to S3 for trending
- Integrate with SIEM tools
- Track remediation progress
- Document exceptions with business justification
## Kiro CLI Integration
```bash
kiro-cli chat "Use aws-security-audit to assess my security posture"
kiro-cli chat "Generate a security audit report with aws-security-audit"
```
