Introduction
The purpose of the reference implementation is to help Canadian Public Sector departments and agencies to identify and remediate the GC Cloud Guardrails to ensure on-going compliance with the Guardrails requirements.The GC Cloud Guardrails requirements can be found in the Canadian Governments public GitHub repository.
Goals
Implementing the required GC Cloud Guardrails can take a considerable amount of time. This solution checks the environment for all 12 Cloud Guardrails Controls and provides guidance on what is required to remediate any that are non-compliant. The solution runs on an ongoing basis, ensuring that your environment continues to meet the baseline requirements.
Architecture
-
The solution is deployed from the Azure Portal's cloud shell. After cloning the repository, some configuration needs to be done to the provided config.json file. Once triggered, the setup will deploy all the required components.
-
Azure Automation will trigger the main runbook every 6 hours. It will fetch information from multiple sources (AAD, Azure Resources, Storage Account).
-
The data is then stored into the local Log Analytics workspace.
-
The data summary and details can be visualized using the provided Guardrails workbook.
-
For multi-tenant scenarios, where the data collected by the Guardrails solution will be reported on by an entity from another Azure AD tenant, Azure Lighthouse can be used to delegate access to the managing tenant.
Setup
The setup document describing how to deploy the Guardrails Solution Accelerator can be found here: Setup
How it works
The solution has multiple modules, each module verifies specific set of settings in the environment and compares them with the required GC guardrails settings recommended by Treasury Board of Canada and Shared Services Canada. In order to understand what the modules are looking for please check the controls documents.
