Solution

This article illustrates how to use the CloudGuard Dome9 API to create a new compliance bundle and then run an assessment with it on a cloud account. This will use the Dome9 API CompliancePolicy and Assessment resources.

This example runs a single assessment. Use the ContinuousCompliancePolicy resource to run assessments continuously.

Prerequisite steps

You will need the following information

the GSL statements for the rules in the bundle
the cloud account id to be assessed by the bundle (use the GET CloudAccounts method for this)

Create a Bundle

Use the CompliancePolicy method.

Request

POST https://api.dome9.com/v2/CompliancePolicy

This is an example of the request block.

 {  
   "name":"Example Bundle",
   "description":"Test bundle",
   "rules":[  
      {  
         "name":"RDS storage should be encrypted",
         "description":"You should encrypt your Amazon RDS instances and snapshots at rest by ena             bling the encryption option for your Amazon RDS DB instance.",
         "severity":"High",
         "logic":"RDS should have isStorageEncrypted = 'true' and kmsKeyId",
         "remediation":"Consider migrating your RDS to an at rest encrypted RDS; Follow AWS recommendations at: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/Overview.Encryption.html",
         "complianceTag":"Encryption and Key Management"
      }
   ],
   "cloudVendor":"aws"
}

Parameters

Set these fields

name and (optionally) description of the bundle

For each rule:
name & (optionally) description of the rule

severity - the severity of the rule (High/Medium/Low)

logic - the GSL statement for the rule, as a text string

remediation - free text of the remediation instructions.

Ignore these parameters:

complianceTag, domain,priority, controlTitle, ruleId, id, logicHash

Response

This is an example of the response. The bundle id value (in the exampe above, 30263) is used to run assessments with the bundle.

   "cloudAccountType":"Aws",
   "requestId":"00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000"
}

Parameters

id - this is the bundle id, returned from the POST CompliancePolicy request, above (in this example, 30263)

dome9CloudAccountId - is the Dome9 acccount number (can be retrieved using the GET CloudAccounts)

externalCloudAccountId and cloudAccountId - these are both the cloud account id in the cloud provider (in this case, the AWS account id)

Python example

this Python script will run an assessment (identified by id) on a cloud account (identified by CloudAccountId).

import requests
import json
# Your API key
apiKey = "********-****-****-****-************"
# Your API secret
apiSecret = "************************"
headers = {
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
'Accept': 'application/json'
}
body = {
"CloudAccountType": "Aws",
"CloudAccountId": "********-****-****-****-************",
"id": -15
}
r = requests.post('https://api.dome9.com/v2/assessment/bundleV2', data=json.dumps(body), headers = headers, auth=(apiKey, apiSecret))
print(r.status_code)
print(r.content)
