HIPAA Security - Implement iam-no-inline-policy-check config rule

[dontirun]

Summary

As a developer

I would like to implement the iam-no-inline-policy-check config rule

So that I can check if qualified resources in my CDK app conforms to the following HIPAA Security control(s): 164.308(a)(3)(i), 164.308(a)(3)(ii)(A), 164.308(a)(3)(ii)(B), 164.308(a)(4)(i), 164.308(a)(4)(ii)(A), 164.308(a)(4)(ii)(B), 164.308(a)(4)(ii)(C), 164.312(a)(1)

Details

ruleId: HIPAA.Security-IAMNoInlinePolicy

info: The IAM Group, User, or Role contains an inline policy - (Control IDs: 164.308(a)(3)(i), 164.308(a)(3)(ii)(A), 164.308(a)(3)(ii)(B), 164.308(a)(4)(i), 164.308(a)(4)(ii)(A), 164.308(a)(4)(ii)(B), 164.308(a)(4)(ii)(C), 164.312(a)(1))

Given Reason: Ensure an AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) user, IAM role or IAM group does not have an inline policy to control access to systems and assets. AWS recommends to use managed policies instead of inline policies. The managed policies allow reusability, versioning and rolling back, and delegating permissions management.

Acceptance Criteria

If the rule can be implemented

Given a CDK app with a non-compliant resource

• When HIPAA Security Pack is enabled
• Then the CDK stack does not deploy and the user receives an ERROR with relevant Control ID information about the non compliant resource

Given a CDK app with a compliant resource

• When HIPAA Security Pack is enabled
• Then the CDK stack deploys and the user does not receive an ERROR about the compliant resource

Given the cdk-nag RULES file

• When the HIPAA.Security-IAMNoInlinePolicy rule is added to the rule pack
• Then the HIPAA Security Errors section is updated with the rule information

If the rule cannot be implemented

Given the cdk-nag RULES file

• When the iam-no-inline-policy-check check is not added to the rule pack
• Then the HIPAA Security Excluded Rules section is updated with the check information
