This document provides an overview and introduction to Chef Compliance. It describes the capabilities and value of Chef Compliance, how to configure the Chef Compliance server, perform scans, remediate issues, and schedule reports. It also discusses using InSpec to create and test Chef Compliance profiles. The objectives are to describe Chef Compliance, configure the server, perform scans, remediate issues, schedule reports, and use InSpec.
InSpec can be used to automate security and compliance testing by translating compliance policies into code. This allows organizations to find issues early in the development process and continuously test configurations as code is built, tested, and deployed. The document discusses adding nodes to scan from the Chef Compliance dashboard, running compliance scans using built-in profiles, and viewing scan results to identify compliant and non-compliant controls. It also provides instructions for running InSpec tests directly from the command line locally or against remote systems using SSH or Docker.
Chef Automate provides automation capabilities across infrastructure, applications, and compliance. It allows organizations to build, deploy, and manage applications and infrastructure with consistency and security. Chef Automate offers workflow automation to establish continuous delivery pipelines, visibility into operational events, and compliance automation to embed security and compliance checks into the software development lifecycle. This allows organizations to achieve compliance at high velocity alongside continuous delivery of code changes.
Compliance as Code - Using the Open Source InSpec testing FrameworkSonatype
George Miranda, Chef
Compliance rules are notoriously applied differently between various organizations, sometimes between various auditors in the same organization. Compliance rules typically start as written policy as part of a regulatory body of concerns. That policy is then translated in discussions, in meetings, and at implementation based on the understanding of those involved. The lack of consistency creates procedural loopholes that may leave us unaware of vulnerabilities due to a lack of clarity about what’s being inspected on our systems.
Compliance as Code aims to deliver tangible, repeatable, and executable code that clearly states exactly how that policy is translated for your organization. Once compliance checks are expressed as code, a number of possibilities open up such as shifting compliance to the left of the software development lifecycle. If we enable developers to easily scan for compliance violations early and often, we stop having to go back to the drawing board right before we’re ready to release into production. Code is the collaborative lingua franca of DevOps. This session explores the open-source InSpec testing framework and how to use it to drive a culture of creating Compliance as Code.
The document provides instructions for installing Chef Compliance as a standalone server. It includes steps to SSH into the server node, download and install the Chef Compliance package, use chef-compliance-ctl to configure the server, and launch the Compliance web UI. The group lab has participants complete these installation and initial configuration tasks together by SSHing into the provided server node, downloading the appropriate RPM package, installing it using rpm, and configuring the server and web UI through the browser.
InSpec is an open source testing framework for infrastructure with a human-readable language for specifying compliance, security, and other policy requirements. Easily integrate automated tests that check for advherence to policy into any stage of your deployment pipeline.
Chef Automate provides a full-stack collaboration platform to help organizations achieve DevOps success by managing infrastructure, containers, applications, and compliance through automation. It addresses barriers to DevOps adoption like disparate tooling and lack of skills/cultural adoption. New capabilities in Chef Automate and Compliance accelerate and de-risk adoption by providing automation, governance, and compliance as code.
The document discusses remediating compliance issues by writing a remediation recipe on the target node to update the SSH version. It describes testing the recipe locally using Kitchen, verifying compliance with InSpec from the CLI, converging the recipe, and rescanning the node to ensure compliance. Key steps include generating a cookbook and server recipe for SSH, creating an SSH config template, updating the template, deploying locally, and re-running the compliance scan to show the issue is now resolved.

DevSec Delight with Compliance as Code - Matt Ray - AgileNZ 2017AgileNZ Conference
For too long, audits and security reviews have been seen as resistant to the frequent release of software. Auditors require access to static systems and environments, which would seem to make continuous delivery impossible. Too frequently audits are a fire drill sampling of the current state and temporary fixes are put in place to appease the compliance audit without being integrated into future releases.
