aiopsone-assure 0.1.1

APRA CPS 234 / CPS 230 AWS compliance evidence from your terminal — security findings to a board-ready narrative report.

aiopsone-assure

APRA compliance evidence for AWS, from your terminal. Point assure at an AWS account (or existing Prowler findings) and get a board-ready, APRA-paragraph-mapped narrative report (Markdown + branded PDF) for CPS 234 and CPS 230 — generated locally, in your own environment.

Why

Security scanners produce findings. Boards and APRA want narrative evidence — "demonstrate, mapped to CPS 234 ¶21, that information assets are encrypted, with evidence and a remediation plan." That translation is the biggest time-sink in an APRA review.

assure closes the gap: findings → CPS 234/230 paragraph mapping → board-ready narrative report. It runs entirely in your environment — your AWS credentials, your Bedrock, nothing leaves your account.

Built on Prowler, Powerpipe, Cloud Custodian and AWS Config — the best open-source scanners. assure does the part they don't: turning their findings into APRA-paragraph board evidence.

Install

pipx install aiopsone-assure          # or: pip install aiopsone-assure
pipx install "aiopsone-assure[ai]"    # + Bedrock AI narrative (boto3)
pipx install "aiopsone-assure[scan]"  # + run Prowler scans (prowler)

PDF output needs Chrome/Chromium on the machine (set $ASSURE_CHROME to override the path), or use --format md.

Usage

# 1. Run Prowler against an account and build the report in one step
assure scan --framework cps234 --region ap-southeast-2

# 2. Build a report from findings you already have (Prowler CSV / JSON / OCSF)
assure report --in findings.csv --framework cps234

# 3. Deterministic, no AI (template engine — default; zero AWS calls)
assure report --in findings.csv --no-ai

# 4. AI narrative via Amazon Bedrock (AU-resident), board-ready PDF
assure report --in findings.csv --engine bedrock --region ap-southeast-2 --format pdf

# 5. CI gate: non-zero exit if any control FAILs; machine-readable summary
assure report --in findings.csv --json

List bundled frameworks:

assure frameworks
# cps234   APRA CPS 234 Information Security  (20 controls, 55 checks)
# cps230   APRA CPS 230 Operational Risk Management  (18 controls, 15 checks)

What you get

A board-ready report with:

• Executive summary + automated compliance score
• Control-by-control assessment mapped to CPS 234/230 paragraphs (PASS / FAIL / MANUAL / NOT-ASSESSED)
• Cited evidence per failing control
• Remediation roadmap

Two formats: Markdown (always) and a branded PDF (professional, print-friendly).

How it works

 AWS account / existing findings
        │  (your own AWS creds — nothing leaves your environment)
        ▼
   assure ── run Prowler (scoped to the framework's checks)
        │
        ├─ map check → CPS 234/230 paragraph   (we own the mapping; no FW injection into Prowler)
        ├─ narrate: template (offline) or Amazon Bedrock / Claude (AU-resident)
        ▼
   Board-ready report: Markdown + branded PDF

Exit codes

0 no failing controls · 2 one or more controls FAIL (for CI gating) · 1 error. Use --exit-zero to always return 0.

Frameworks are pluggable

A framework is just data — a pack JSON mapping checks → paragraphs. Bundled: CPS 234, CPS 230. Point --framework path/to/pack.json at your own. (Roadmap: Essential Eight, ACSC ISM/IRAP, then ISO 27001 / SOC 2.)

Status & scope

v0.1 — CLI. Self-hosted, single-shot, stores nothing. The hosted SaaS (continuous, multi-account, managed AU-resident inference, dashboard) is a separate product that wraps this engine.
