Security Overview

This Terraform Orchestration Framework implements security best practices for AWS multi-account deployments. For detailed implementation guidance, see our Security Best Practices Guide.

Key Security Features

  • Multi-Account Isolation: Secure cross-account deployments using AWS Organizations
  • Temporary Credentials: Enhanced security with auto-expiring session tokens
  • Encrypted State Management: S3 backend with KMS encryption and DynamoDB locking
  • Least Privilege Access: Role-based access controls with minimal permissions
  • Network Security: VPC isolation with security groups and private subnets
  • Audit Trail: Complete logging through GitLab CI/CD and AWS CloudTrail
  • Automated Security Scanning: Integration points for security analysis tools

Quick Security Checklist

Before Deployment:

  • Replace all placeholder values with actual account IDs
  • Configure cross-account IAM roles with least privilege
  • Enable encryption for all data at rest and in transit
  • Set up CloudTrail logging in all accounts
  • Configure security scanning in CI/CD pipeline

For Detailed Implementation: See our comprehensive Security Best Practices Guide for:

  • Step-by-step security configuration
  • AWS account hardening procedures
  • Temporary credentials implementation
  • Network security best practices
  • Compliance framework guidance
  • Incident response procedures
