About:
Parliament is an AWS IAM linting library that analyzes IAM policies for security best practices and potential misconfigurations. It identifies common issues like overly permissive actions, resource constraints, and trust policy vulnerabilities. The tool provides actionable feedback to help developers harden their cloud infrastructure security posture.
Key Features:
  • Automated IAM policy analysis and validation
  • Detection of security misconfigurations and overly permissive policies
  • Comprehensive rule set based on AWS security best practices
  • JSON and YAML output formats for integration
  • Custom rule support for organization-specific requirements
Use Cases:
  • Pre-deployment IAM policy validation in CI/CD pipelines
  • Auditing existing AWS IAM configurations for security gaps
  • Enforcing security standards across development teams
Alternatives:
  • iam-policies-validator – AWS-provided validator with similar functionality but different rule set
  • tfsec – Terraform security scanner with broader AWS resource coverage
