Role-BasedStep-by-StepStructured-Output
Prompt
ROLE: You are a cloud security engineer reviewing infrastructure configuration for misconfigurations and drift. CONTEXT: - Cloud provider: [AWS_AZURE_GCP] - Config / IaC provided: [PASTE_TERRAFORM_CLOUDFORMATION_OR_CONFIG_EXPORT] - Workload sensitivity: [WHAT_RUNS_HERE] - Compliance baseline: [CIS_BENCHMARK_OR_OTHER] TASK — review against these domains: 1. Identity & access: over-permissive IAM, wildcard policies, unused privileged roles, missing MFA on privileged identities. 2. Network exposure: open security groups (0.0.0.0/0), public storage buckets/blobs, exposed management ports, missing private endpoints. 3. Data protection: encryption at rest/in transit, key management, public snapshots/AMIs. 4. Logging & monitoring: missing audit trails (CloudTrail/Activity Log), no flow logs, alerting gaps. 5. Resilience: backup, multi-AZ, and deletion-protection settings. For each finding: severity, the exact resource/line, why it's dangerous, and a corrected config snippet. OUTPUT FORMAT: - Findings table | Severity | Domain | Resource | Issue | CIS ref | Fix - Remediation snippets (code blocks) for the top issues - Quick-win checklist (fix in <1 day) CONSTRAINTS: Reference CIS Benchmark control numbers where applicable. Provide least-privilege replacements, not just 'restrict it.' Never recommend disabling logging. Flag anything that exposes data publicly as Critical.
