QE Security Compliance

Purpose

Guide the use of v3's security and compliance testing capabilities including SAST/DAST scanning, vulnerability detection, compliance auditing, and security gate enforcement.

Activation

• When performing security audits
• When scanning for vulnerabilities
• When validating compliance
• When checking dependencies
• When setting up security gates

Quick Start

# Full security scan
aqe security scan --scope src/ --checks all

# Vulnerability check
aqe security vulns --dependencies --severity critical,high

# Compliance audit
aqe security compliance --standard soc2 --output report.html

# OWASP check
aqe security owasp --top-10 --scope src/

Agent Workflow

// Security audit
Task("Security audit", `
  Perform comprehensive security audit:
  - SAST scan for code vulnerabilities
  - Dependency vulnerability check
  - Secret detection in code and configs
  - OWASP Top 10 validation
  Generate security report with remediation steps.
`, "qe-security-auditor")

// Compliance validation
Task("SOC2 compliance check", `
  Validate SOC2 compliance requirements:
  - Access control verification
  - Encryption validation
  - Audit logging check
  - Data retention compliance
  Generate compliance evidence report.
`, "qe-compliance-checker")

Security Operations

1. SAST Scanning

await securityScanner.staticAnalysis({
  scope: 'src/**/*.ts',
  checks: [
    'sql-injection',
    'xss',
    'command-injection',
    'path-traversal',
    'insecure-crypto',
    'hardcoded-secrets'
  ],
  rules: 'owasp-top-10',
  severity: ['critical', 'high', 'medium']
});

2. Dependency Scanning

await securityScanner.dependencyCheck({
  sources: ['package.json', 'package-lock.json'],
  checks: {
    knownVulnerabilities: true,
    outdatedPackages: true,
    licenseCompliance: true,
    supplyChainRisk: true
  },
  severity: ['critical', 'high'],
  autoFix: {
    enabled: true,
    dryRun: false
  }
});

3. Compliance Audit

await complianceChecker.audit({
  standards: ['SOC2', 'GDPR', 'HIPAA'],
  scope: {
    code: 'src/',
    configs: 'config/',
    infrastructure: 'terraform/'
  },
  output: {
    gaps: true,
    evidence: true,
    recommendations: true
  }
});

4. Secret Detection

await securityScanner.detectSecrets({
  scope: ['.', 'config/', '.env*'],
  patterns: [
    'api-keys',
    'passwords',
    'tokens',
    'private-keys',
    'connection-strings'
  ],
  exclude: ['*.test.ts', 'mocks/'],
  action: {
    onDetect: 'block',
    notify: ['security-team']
  }
});
