Description

New feature motivation

We would like to use Prowler for AWS compliance but Prowler doesn't include all of the relevant frameworks, specifically CIS AWS Compute Services Benchmark v1.0.0.

Solution Proposed

Adding the CIS AWS Compute Services Benchmark v1.0.0 to Prowler AWS compliance. CIS_AWS_Compute_Services_Benchmark_v1.0.0.pdf

Describe alternatives you've considered

Prowler offers CIS AWS foundations in version 1.4, 1.5, and 2.0 but doesn't include the computer services benchmark.

Additional context

This CIS benchmark was released in April, found at https://www.cisecurity.org/insights/blog/cis-benchmarks-april-2023-update#NewCISAWSComputeServicesBenchmarkv1.0.0

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study how existing compliance frameworks are structured in Prowler (e.g., CIS AWS Foundations). Understand the CSV/JSON format for benchmarks. Map the controls in the PDF to equivalent Prowler checks. Implement new framework files and register them.
