GCP CIS 1.2.0 Benchmark Inspec Profile

This repository holds the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) Center for Internet Security (CIS) version 1.2 Benchmark Inspec Profile.

Required Disclaimer

This is not an officially supported Google product. This code is intended to help users assess their security posture on the Google Cloud against the CIS Benchmark. This code is not certified by CIS.

Coverage

The following GCP CIS v1.2.0 Benchmark Controls are not covered:

• Identity and Access Management 1.2 - "Ensure that multi-factor authentication is enabled for all non-service accounts"
• Identity and Access Management 1.3 - "Ensure that Security Key Enforcement is enabled for all admin accounts"
• Identity and Access Management 1.12 - "Ensure API keys are not created for a project"
• Identity and Access Management 1.13 - "Ensure API keys are restricted to use by only specified Hosts and Apps"
• Identity and Access Management 1.14 - "Ensure API keys are restricted to only APIs that application needs access"
• Identity and Access Management 1.15 - "Ensure API keys are rotated every 90 days"
• Cloud SQL Database Services 6.3 - "Ensure that MySql database instance does not allow anyone to connect with administrative privileges"
• Cloud SQL Database Services 6.4 - "Ensure that MySQL Database Instance does not allows root login from any Host"

Usage

Profile Inputs (see inspec.yml file)

This profile uses InSpec Inputs to make the tests more flexible. You are able to provide inputs at runtime either via the cli or via YAML files to help the profile work best in your deployment.

pro tip: Do not change the inputs in the inspec.yml file directly, either:

• update them via the cli - via the --input flag
• pass them in via a YAML file as shown in the Example - via the --input-file flag

Further details can be found here: https://docs.chef.io/inspec/inputs/

(Required) User Provided Inputs - via the CLI or Input Files

• gcp_project_id - (Default: null, type: String) - The target GCP Project you are scanning.

(Optional) User Provided Inputs

• sa_key_older_than_seconds - (Default: 7776000, type: int, CIS IAM 1.15) - The maximum allowed age of GCP User-managed Service Account Keys (90 days in seconds).
• kms_rotation_period_seconds - (Default: 7776000, type: int, CIS IAM 1.10) - The maximum allowed age of KMS keys (90 days in seconds).

# make sure you're authenticated to GCP
$ gcloud auth list

# acquire credentials to use with Application Default Credentials
$ gcloud auth application-default login

# scan a project with this profile, replace {{project-id}} with your project ID

Docker

# pull inspec image
$ docker pull chef/inspec:4.26.15

# make sure you're authenticated to GCP
$ gcloud auth list

# acquire credentials to use with Application Default Credentials
