# IaC compliance review (Terraform, verified)
Review a Terraform plan for security/compliance gaps and EU data residency, and
**prove it** — findings come from a script that parses the real plan JSON and
maps each to a control, not from eyeballing HCL.
## Core principle
**Compliance is checked, not claimed.** The loop is: review the plan → triage
findings by severity → fix the HCL → re-plan → re-review, until the gate is
green at your blocking severities.
**Be honest about scope (this is the rule that keeps the skill correct):** this
is **static plan review**. It sees declared configuration, not runtime state,
drift, data flows, or anything outside the encoded policies and the providers
covered. Control "mapping" indicates **relevance, not certified conformance**.
It is not a substitute for a CSPM tool, a penetration test, or a formal
ISO 27001 / SOC 2 audit. Never report "ISO 27001 / SOC 2 / GDPR compliant" from
a green run — report "0 blocking findings against the encoded policy catalog."

## When to use vs. not
- Use for: a security/compliance review of Terraform; auditing cloud config for
public exposure, encryption, IAM least-privilege, logging; checking EU data
residency; mapping findings to ISO 27001 / SOC 2 / GDPR; gating Terraform in
CI.
- Not for: runtime/posture scanning of a live account (use a CSPM/CNAPP),
penetration testing, certifying an audit, or non-Terraform IaC the policy
catalog doesn't cover (
