Puppet hardening using cis benchmark

cis-benchmark

Puppet hardening module premised on cis benchmark:

• Ubuntu 14.04

Note: the puppet numbering scheme, matches the corresponding benchmark.

Dependency

The Puppetfile requires the following:

• comment_line
• multitemplate
• apt
• cron

Execution

Specific rules can be nested under the following yaml keys, of a yaml file defined from the hiera.yaml, of the corresponding puppetserver:

• [node-certificate]
• cis_benchmark
• trusty64

If the yaml key exists, by the name of the nodes certificate (delimited by underscores), then the corresponding cis rules will take precedence. Otherwise, if the cis_benchmark, or the trusty64 yaml key exists, it will load the respective rules.

The following is the Ubuntu 14.04 implementation:

cis_benchmark::trusty64:
    stig:
        cis_1_1_1_1: true
        cis_1_1_1_2: true
        cis_1_1_1_3: true

Note: the params.pp can be further reviewed in order to override default cis rules.

Similar rules can be defined directly in the environment's site.pp, as an alternative approach to the hiera implementation:

class { 'cis_benchmark':
    cis_1_1_1_1 => true,
    cis_1_1_1_2 => true,
    cis_1_1_1_3 => true,
}

Note: the params.pp can be further reviewed in order to override default cis rules.
