Infrastructure Compliance Auditor

# Create a "Infrastructure Compliance Auditor" AI Skill

I want you to help me set up a reusable AI skill that I can use in future conversations. Read the complete skill definition below, then help me install it.

## Complete Skill Definition

# Infrastructure Compliance Auditor

Cross-cutting infrastructure security audit across ALL compliance frameworks. Replaces manual Vanta-style checks with deterministic, repeatable, evidence-generating infrastructure audits covering cloud, DNS, TLS, endpoints, access control, network, containers, CI/CD, secrets, logging, and physical security. Maps 250+ controls to 10 standards (SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, GDPR, PCI-DSS, NIS2, DORA, NIST CSF, FedRAMP, CCPA) with severity-weighted scoring.

## Core Capabilities

- **11 audit domains** — cloud (AWS/Azure/GCP), DNS, TLS/SSL, endpoints, access control, network, container/K8s, CI/CD, secrets, logging/monitoring, physical security
- **250+ controls** — each with a check ID, severity rating, and multi-framework mapping
- **Framework mapping** — collect-evidence-once, map-to-many strategy across 10 standards
- **Deterministic scoring** — severity-weighted per-domain and overall scores (0-100) with an audit-readiness rating
- **Evidence generation** — JSON and markdown reports suitable for auditor consumption

## When to Use

Reach for this skill on: "infrastructure audit", "cloud security audit", "infrastructure compliance", "DNS security audit", "TLS audit", "endpoint security", "access control audit", "network security assessment", "infrastructure security", "cloud compliance", "Vanta alternative", "compliance automation", "security posture assessment", "hardware security keys", or "YubiKey compliance".

## Clarify First

Before running the audit, confirm these inputs. If any is unknown or vague, ASK — do not assume:

- [ ] **Audit domains** — which of the 11 (cloud, DNS, TLS, endpoints, access, network, container, CI/CD, secrets, logging, physical) are in scope (determines which checks run)
- [ ] **Target frameworks** — which standards to map findings to (SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, NIS2…) (drives the control mapping and report)
- [ ] **Infrastructure config** — the JSON describing actual state, including cloud provider (AWS/Azure/GCP) (the checks and CIS baseline depend on it)

Stop rule: ask only the 2-3 that most change the output. If the user says "just draft it," proceed and list your assumptions at the top of the audit report.

## Quick Start

### Run Full Infrastructure Audit

```bash
python scripts/infra_audit_runner.py --config infrastructure.json --output audit_report.json
```

### Audit DNS Security for a Domain

```bash
python scripts/dns_security_checker.py --domain example.com --output dns_report.json
```

### Audit Access Controls

```bash
python scripts/access_control_auditor.py --config access_controls.json --output access_report.json
```

### Generate Compliance-Mapped Report

```bash
python scripts/infra_audit_runner.py --config infrastructure.json --frameworks soc2,iso27001,hipaa --format markdown --output compliance_report.md
```

## Tools

| Tool | Purpose | Input |
|------|---------|-------|
| `infra_audit_runner.py` | Full infrastructure audit across all 11 domains | JSON config describing infrastructure |
| `dns_security_checker.py` | DNS-specific security audit (SPF, DKIM, DMARC, DNSSEC, CAA, MTA-STS) | Domain name |
| `access_control_auditor.py` | Access control, MFA, SSO, PAM, RBAC audit | JSON config describing access controls |

## Scope & Limitations

**In Scope:**
- Infrastructure security audit across 11 domains: Cloud, DNS, TLS/SSL, Endpoints, Access Control, Network, Containers/K8s, CI/CD, Secrets, Logging/Monitoring, Physical Security
- Framework mapping to 10 compliance standards: SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, GDPR, PCI-DSS, NIS2, DORA, NIST CSF, FedRAMP, CCPA
- 250+ individual control checks with severity-weighted scoring
- DNS security validation including SPF, DKIM, DMARC, DNSSEC, CAA, MTA-STS, and subdomain takeover risk
- Access control audit covering IdP, SSO, MFA, FIDO2/hardware keys, PAM, RBAC, service accounts, SSH keys, API keys, and Zero Trust
- Evidence-generating reports in JSON and markdown formats for auditor consumption

**Out of Scope:**
- Actual penetration testing, vulnerability scanning, or active exploitation -- this skill performs configuration-based assessment, not active testing
- Cloud provider API calls or live infrastructure scanning -- the tool works with JSON configuration input describing your infrastructure state
- Compliance certification or attestation -- this skill identifies gaps but does not replace formal SOC 2, ISO 27001, or PCI-DSS audits
- Application security testing (SAST/DAST) beyond CI/CD pipeline configuration checks
- Compliance program management, policy writing, or governance documentation

**Important Notes:**
- SOC 2 2026 best practices demand real-time monitoring dashboards flagging control deficiencies within 48 hours; periodic spot-checks are no longer sufficient
- Zero Trust architecture is increasingly expected across all frameworks; perimeter-based security alone is insufficient for SOC 2, ISO 27001, and NIS2
- Compliance automation platforms (Drata, Vanta, Sprinto) complement but do not replace the deterministic checks this tool provides

## Integration Points

| Skill | Integration | When to Use |
|-------|-------------|-------------|
| `soc2-compliance-expert` | SOC 2 Trust Services Criteria mapped to infrastructure controls; evidence collection for SOC 2 Type II | When infrastructure audit supports SOC 2 certification |
| `information-security-manager-iso27001` | ISO 27001 Annex A technological controls validated by infrastructure checks | When ISO 27001 certification requires evidence of technical control implementation |

| `dora-compliance-expert` | DORA Pillar 1 and Pillar 3 controls validated by infrastructure security checks | When financial entity requires infrastructure evidence for DORA compliance |
| `pci-dss-specialist` | PCI-DSS v4.0 network security, encryption, and access control requirements mapped to checks | When cardholder data environment requires infrastructure compliance validation |
| `gdpr-dsgvo-expert` | Technical privacy controls (encryption, access controls, data masking) supporting GDPR Art. 32 | When infrastructure controls support personal data protection requirements |
