Secure Configuration Management and Compliance Tracking

Problem/Motivation

FedRAMP requires strict configuration management and compliance validation. Drupal 11 needs a way to establish secure baselines, track configuration changes, and validate compliance status over time.

Steps to reproduce

1. Install Drupal 11
2. Try to establish a security baseline configuration
3. Attempt to track changes against compliance requirements
4. Note the lack of integrated compliance validation tools

Proposed resolution

Develop a Recipe component for configuration management that includes:

• Secure baseline configurations
• Configuration drift detection
• Compliance validation against FedRAMP/HIPAA
• Change tracking with approval workflows
• Configuration audit reporting

Remaining tasks

1. Define secure configuration baselines
2. Implement compliance validation rules
3. Create change management workflows
4. Build reporting interfaces
5. Develop configuration export/import tools

User interface changes

• Configuration compliance dashboard
• Change approval workflow UI
• Baseline comparison tools

API changes

• Configuration validation services
• Compliance checking APIs
• Change workflow hooks

Data model changes

• Baseline configuration entities
• Change request records
• Compliance status tracking
