Atmos AWS Compliance

SkillCloud & infra

This adds AWS compliance checking to your AI, so it can audit your AWS setup against standards like CIS, PCI DSS, SOC2, HIPAA, and NIST. Once added, your AI can run compliance checks, generate reports, and summarize the results for you.

Available today. Use it from your connected AI after setup.

After adding it, ask your AI to run a compliance report, for example against CIS AWS or SOC2, and review the summary it gives you.

Then ask your AI: use the Atmos AWS Compliance skill

What your AI can do with it

  • Run AWS compliance checks against CIS, PCI DSS, SOC2, HIPAA, and NIST standards
  • Check your AWS environment against Security Hub standards
  • Generate compliance reports from the results
  • Work with different report formats
  • Summarize findings so they are easier to review

What this skill tells your AI

The instructions your AI receives, as published by cloudposse/atmos in agent-skills/skills/atmos-aws-compliance/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.

Use this skill for compliance posture reporting through AWS Security Hub. It owns atmos aws compliance report.

Command Model

atmos aws compliance report retrieves enabled Security Hub standard controls, maps failing controls to Atmos stacks/components where possible, and writes reports for humans or automation.

atmos aws compliance report --framework cis-aws --stack prod-us-east-1
atmos aws compliance report --framework pci-dss --format json --file compliance.json
atmos aws compliance report --controls CIS.1.1,CIS.1.2 --format markdown
atmos aws compliance report --ai

Supported report formats are markdown, json, yaml, and csv.

Configuration

Configure defaults in atmos.yaml under aws.security. Route identity setup to atmos-auth.

aws:
  security:
    enabled: true
    identity: security-readonly
    region: us-east-2
    frameworks:
      - cis-aws
      - pci-dss

Use --identity to override the configured identity for a run.

Agent Guidance

  • Prefer --framework for targeted checks. Omit it only when the user explicitly wants all enabled frameworks.
  • Use --stack when the report should map compliance status to a specific Atmos stack.
  • Use --format json or --format yaml for automation and CI gates; use markdown for human reports.
  • Use --file for durable artifacts. Parent directories are created by the command.
  • Use --ai only when the user asks for AI-generated summary or remediation guidance.
  • For detailed per-finding remediation output, route to atmos-aws-security.
  • Do not invent compliance mappings. If component mapping is missing or low-confidence, say so and use Atmos introspection before proposing component changes.
