Infrastructure as Code Security Assessment on AWS by Futuralis

The Futuralis Infrastructure as Code Security Assessment focuses on identifying security weaknesses within infrastructure repositories before resources are deployed to AWS.

Futuralis inventories the IaC repositories, modules, templates, environments, and deployment variables included in scope. Security engineers run appropriate IaC scanners and then manually inspect the code to validate findings, remove false positives, and identify risks automated tools may miss. Assessment work includes:

• Reviewing Terraform, CloudFormation, AWS CDK, AWS SAM, Kubernetes manifests, and Helm charts.
• Identifying excessive IAM permissions and unsafe trust policies.
• Checking security groups, routing, public endpoints, and network segmentation.
• Reviewing encryption, key management, storage policies, backups, and logging.
• Detecting embedded secrets and insecure variable handling.
• Evaluating reusable modules and inherited configuration.
• Reviewing Terraform state protection and backend configuration.
• Mapping validated findings to agreed security or compliance controls.
• Providing file, resource, and code-level remediation recommendations.

Deliverables include a repository coverage summary, validated findings register, affected file and resource references, severity ratings, remediation examples, secure-pattern recommendations, executive summary, and technical report.
