AWS S3 Bucket Public Write Access Audit : SOC2 Compliance

This runbook conducts an audit, ensuring that S3 buckets within AWS do not allow unauthorized public write access. This audit reviews Block Public Access settings, bucket policies, and ACLs to adhere to SOC2's strict data security standards. It aims to identify and rectify any configurations that may compromise data integrity and confidentiality.

  1. 1

    This task involves retrieving and listing the names of all the S3 buckets that are currently associated with your AWS account. By fetching this list, you gain an overview of the existing S3 buckets under your account, which can aid in resource management, access control, and tracking. This information is valuable for maintaining an organized and well-structured AWS environment, ensuring efficient storage utilization, and facilitating easy navigation of your stored data.

    import json cmd = "aws s3api list-buckets" output = _exe(None, cmd,cred_label=cred_label) #Parse the JSON response response_data = json.loads(output) #Extract bucket names bucket_names = [bucket["Name"] for bucket in response_data["Buckets"]] #Print the extracted bucket names: for bucket_name in bucket_names: print(bucket_name)

    The task involves auditing AWS S3 buckets to identify those that permit public write access. This process helps ensure data security by flagging buckets that might be vulnerable to unauthorized modifications.

      This task programmatically tightens security on a specified AWS S3 bucket by disabling public write access. It modifies the bucket's Block Public Access settings, ensuring compliance with data security standards. This preventive measure is critical in safeguarding sensitive data from unauthorized modifications.
