AuditClaw AWS

Companion skill for auditclaw-grc. Collects compliance evidence from AWS accounts using read-only API calls.

15 checks | Read-only IAM policy | Evidence stored in shared GRC database

Security Model

Read-only access: Custom IAM policy with 43 read-only API actions. No write/modify/delete permissions.
Credentials: Uses standard AWS credential chain (aws configure, env vars, or IAM instance role). No credentials stored by this skill.
Dependencies: boto3==1.34.46 (pinned)
Data flow: Check results stored as evidence in ~/.openclaw/grc/compliance.sqlite via auditclaw-grc

Prerequisites

AWS credentials configured (aws configure or IAM instance role)
pip install -r scripts/requirements.txt
auditclaw-grc skill installed and initialized

Commands

"Run AWS evidence sweep": Run all checks, store results in GRC database
"Check S3 encryption": Run S3-specific checks
"Check IAM compliance": Run IAM-specific checks
"Check CloudTrail status": Verify CloudTrail configuration
"Check VPC security": Review VPC flow logs and security groups
"Show AWS integration health": Last sync, errors, evidence count

Usage

All evidence is stored in the shared GRC database at ~/.openclaw/grc/compliance.sqlite via the auditclaw-grc skill's db_query.py script.

To run a full evidence sweep:

python3 scripts/aws_evidence.py --db-path ~/.openclaw/grc/compliance.sqlite --all

To run specific checks:

python3 scripts/aws_evidence.py --db-path ~/.openclaw/grc/compliance.sqlite --checks iam,s3,cloudtrail

Check Categories (15)

Check	What It Verifies
iam	Password policy, MFA enforcement, access key rotation, unused credentials
s3	Default encryption, public access blocks, versioning, access logging
cloudtrail	Trail enabled, multi-region, log validation, S3 delivery
vpc	Flow logs enabled, security group rules, NACL configuration
kms	Key rotation enabled, key policies, key usage
ec2	IMDSv2 enforcement, EBS encryption, public IP exposure
rds	Storage encryption, automated backups, public accessibility
security_hub	Security Hub enabled, active findings by severity
guardduty	Detector enabled, active findings, threat intelligence
lambda	Runtime currency, public access, VPC attachment
cloudwatch	Log group retention policies, metric alarm coverage
config	Config recorder active, rule compliance status
eks_ecs	Container cluster encryption, logging, network policies
elb	HTTPS listeners, WAF association, access logging
credential_report	Full IAM credential report analysis

Evidence Storage

Each check produces evidence items stored with:

source: "aws"
type: "automated"
control_id: Mapped to relevant SOC2/ISO/HIPAA controls
description: Human-readable finding summary
file_content: JSON details of the check result

IAM Policy

See scripts/iam-policy.json for the minimum IAM permissions needed. Use the principle of least privilege; the policy uses read-only permissions only.

Setup Guide

When a user asks to set up AWS integration, guide them through these steps:

Step 1: Create IAM Policy

Direct the user to AWS Console → IAM → Policies → Create Policy → JSON tab. The exact policy is in scripts/iam-policy.json. Show it with: python3 {baseDir}/../auditclaw-grc/scripts/db_query.py --action show-policy --provider aws

The policy contains 43 read-only API actions across 14 AWS services. No write/modify/delete permissions.

Step 2: Create IAM User

Name: auditclaw-scanner. Attach the AuditClawReadOnly policy. CLI: aws iam create-user --user-name auditclaw-scanner

Step 3: Generate Access Keys

Security Credentials → Create Access Key → CLI use case. CLI: aws iam create-access-key --user-name auditclaw-scanner

Step 4: Configure Credentials

Store credentials: aws configure or set AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID + AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY env vars.

Step 5: Verify Connection

Run: python3 {baseDir}/scripts/aws_evidence.py --test-connection This probes each AWS service and reports accessibility.

Do NOT recommend SecurityAudit or ViewOnlyAccess managed policies. They grant far more access than needed. Always use our custom policy from scripts/iam-policy.json.
