Cloud Conformity Auto Remediation
This early "Auto Remediation" is subject to change. Cloud Conformity will use commercially reasonable efforts to support the previous version of the project. This project is provided on an ‘AS IS’ and ‘WHEN AVAILABLE’ basis. Cloud Conformity has no liability to user as a result of any changes made to their AWS infrastructure by installing this project.
Auto Remediation is an MIT open-source project, actively maintained by Cloud Conformity team.
The following image shows how Cloud Conformity Auto Remediation works:
Here's an example:
- A user makes an S3 bucket publicly readable via S3 Access Control Lists (ACLs)
- Cloud Conformity identifies the risk in real-time
- Cloud Conformity publishes a message to the specified SNS Topic
- SNS topic triggers the Orchestrator lambda function which in turns calls S3 bucket auto-remediate function
- S3 BucketPublicReadAccess Auto Remediate Function (AutoRemediateS3-001) updates the S3 bucket ACL and closes the security gap
- Install Node.js v18 or later.
Note that you need to follow the Deleting a stack on the AWS CloudFormation console to delete the current stack if you plan to update to the latest version.
- Create a working copy of "Cloud Conformity Auto Remediation" repository by running the following command:
git clone https://github.com/cloudconformity/auto-remediate.git- Change directory to auto-remediation:
cd auto-remediateIMPORTANTUpdatefunctions/config.jsonwith required configurations. Please note that all the rules in config file are disabled by default to prevent unwanted changes. User needs to enable the ones they need manually.IMPORTANTMake any other necessary adjustments before deployment.- Run
npm installbefore deploying so that the node_modules folder would be available to AWS
npm install- Finally deploy
npx serverless deploy --region us-west-2The table below gives more information about SNS Message format:

The styleguide used for this project is
Standard forced by eslint.
To run eslint, you only need to run npm run lint [filename] or to
run for the whole project, run npm run lint '**/*.js'.
Refer to package.json for more info.
The main rules are as follows:
- 2 spaces – for indentation
- Single quotes for strings – except to avoid escaping
- No unused variables – this one catches tons of bugs!
- No semicolons – It's fine. Really!
- Never start a line with (, [, or `
- Space after keywords if (condition) { ... }
- Space after function name function name (arg) { ... }
- Always use === instead of == – but obj == null is allowed to check null || undefined.
- Always handle the node.js err function parameter
- Always prefix browser globals with window – except document and navigator are okay
