Exemption Clauses

This package provides you with general guide to help you quickly create scenario-based conformance packages. The conformance package and rules included only apply to cloud service and do not represent any legal advice. This conformance package does not ensure compliance with specific laws, regulations, or industry standards. You are responsible for the compliance and legality of your business and technical operations and assume all related responsibilities.

Compliance Rules

Table 1 Rules in the conformance package

Guideline No.

Rule

Solution

1.1

ecs-instance-no-public-ip

Restrict public access to ECSs to protect sensitive data.

1.1

ecs-instance-in-vpc

Include all ECSs in VPCs.

1.1

vpc-default-sg-closed

Use security groups to control access within a VPC. You can directly use the default security group for resource access control.

1.1

vpc-acl-unused-check

Use this rule to identity unattached ACLs. An ACL helps control traffic in and out of a subnet.

1.1

vpc-sg-ports-check

You can use security groups to control port connections.

1.2

iam-customer-policy-blocked-kms-actions

Use this rule to identity policies that disable KMS encryption.

1.2

iam-group-has-users-check

Add IAM users to at least one user group so that users can inherit permissions attached to the user group that they are in.

1.2

vpc-sg-restricted-ssh

You can configure security groups to only allow traffic from some IPs to access the SSH port 22 of ECSs to ensure secure remote access to ECSs.

1.2

smn-lts-enable

Enable LTS for SMN topics.

1.4

private-nat-gateway-authorized-vpc-only

Use private NAT gateways to control VPC connections.

1.4

vpc-sg-restricted-common-ports

You can configure security groups to control connections to frequently used ports.

1.4

function-graph-public-access-prohibited

Block public access to FunctionGraph functions and manage access to Huawei Cloud resources. Public access may reduce resource availability.

2.3

ecs-multiple-public-ip-check

You can use this rule to identify ECSs that have multiple EIPs attached to reduce network security risks.

2.3

volume-unused-check

Use this rule to identity idle cloud disks.

2.3

kms-not-scheduled-for-deletion

Use this rule to identify KMS keys that are scheduled for deletion.

2.5 A

sfsturbo-encrypted-check

Enable KMS encryption for SFS Turbo file systems.

2.5 A

volumes-encrypted-check

Enable encryption for EVS to protect data.

4.1

iam-password-policy

Set thresholds for IAM user password strength.

4.1

access-keys-rotated

Enable key rotation.

4.2

iam-user-mfa-enabled

Enable MFA for all IAM users to prevent account theft.

4.2

mfa-enabled-for-iam-console-access

Enable MFA for all IAM users who can access Huawei Cloud management console. MFA enhances account security to prevent account theft and protect sensitive data.

4.2

root-account-mfa-enabled

Enable MFA for root users. MFA enhances account security.

5.1

iam-role-has-all-permissions

Grant IAM users only necessary permissions to perform required operations to ensure compliance with the least privilege and SOD principles

5.1

iam-root-access-key-check

Ensure that the root access key has been deleted.

5.1

iam-user-group-membership-check

Add IAM users to user groups so that users can inherit permissions attached to user groups that they are in.

6.4

cts-lts-enable

Use LTS to centrally collect CTS data.

6.4

cts-tracker-exists

Ensure that a CTS tracker has been created for your account to record operations on the Huawei Cloud management console.

6.4

multi-region-cts-tracker-exists

Create CTS trackers for different regions where your services are deployed. When you enable CTS for the first time, a management tracker, system, is created automatically. You can create multiple trackers for different regions to help make services better satisfy customer needs as well as legal or regulatory requirements.

6.4

cts-kms-encrypted-check

Enable trace file encryption for CTS trackers.

6.4

cts-support-validate-check

You can enable file verification for CTS trackers to prevent log files from being modified or deleted after being stored.

6.4

stopped-ecs-date-diff

Use this rule to identify ECSs that have been stopped for more than the allowed time period.

6.4

vpc-flow-logs-enabled

Enable flow logs for VPCs to monitor network traffic, analyze network attacks, and optimize security group and ACL configurations.
