SCPkit

Overview

This project provides a Python module to aid in Service Control Policy (SCP) management in AWS accounts.

SCPs have a current limit of 5 total per entity, and a size limit on each of 5120 characters. This tool will merge selected SCPs into the fewest amount of policies, and optionally remove whitespace characters as they count toward the character limit.

Using SCPkit

SCPkit can be installed from PyPI

pip install scpkit

Validating a directory of SCPs

Validating a directory requires active AWS credentials through a profile or environment. SCPkit will recursively search the directory for json files and validate them with Access Analyzer's ValidatePolicy API.

scpkit validate --sourcefiles /path/to/scps --profile yourawsprofile --outdir /path/to/findings

Merging a directory of SCPs

Merging a directory of SCPs does not require active AWS credentials, but can optionally validate after merging.

scpkit merge --sourcefiles /path/to/scps --outdir /path/to/directory

Optional validation with output locally:

scpkit merge --sourcefiles /path/to/scps --outdir /path/to/directory --validate-after-merge --profile yourawsprofile

Creating a visualization of an AWS Organization, OUs, Accounts, and SCPs

Creating this visualization requires you be authenticated with either the Org management account, or a delegated administrator. See the AWS Documentation page for more info on delegating Organizations.

This will output a graph pdf and graphviz data file in the specified directory (or local directory, if outdir is not specified.)

scpkit visualize --profile yourawsprofile --outdir ./org-graph

Accounts are presented as ellipses, organizational units are rectangles, and SCPs are trapezoids.

The full CLI is documented through docopt

Local development

From the root of the folder:

python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
python -m scpkit.main validate --sourcefiles ./scps --profile yourawsprofile

Install as a package

python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -U git+https://github.com/aquia-inc/scpkit.git
