# Terraform GCP Compliance Mod for Powerpipe



50+ compliance and security controls to test your Terraform GCP resources against security best practices prior to deployment in your GCP projects.



Run checks in a dashboard:

Or in a terminal:

## Documentation

- **[Named queries →](https://hub.powerpipe.io/mods/turbot/terraform_gcp_compliance/queries)**



## Getting Started



### Installation



Install Powerpipe (https://powerpipe.io/downloads), or use Brew:



```sh

brew install turbot/tap/powerpipe

```



This mod also requires [Steampipe](https://steampipe.io) with the [Terraform plugin](https://hub.steampipe.io/plugins/turbot/terraform) as the data source. Install Steampipe (https://steampipe.io/downloads), or use Brew:



```sh

brew install turbot/tap/steampipe

steampipe plugin install terraform

```



Finally, install the mod:



```sh

mkdir dashboards

cd dashboards

powerpipe mod init

powerpipe mod install github.com/turbot/steampipe-mod-terraform-gcp-compliance

```



### Browsing Dashboards



Start Steampipe as the data source:



```sh

steampipe service start

```



Start the dashboard server:



```sh

powerpipe server

```



Browse and view your dashboards at **http://localhost:9033**.



### Running Checks in Your Terminal



Instead of running benchmarks in a dashboard, you can also run them within your

terminal with the `powerpipe benchmark` command:



List available benchmarks:



```sh

powerpipe benchmark list

```



Run a benchmark:



```sh

powerpipe benchmark run terraform_gcp_compliance.benchmark.bigquery

```



Different output formats are also available, for more information please see

[Output Formats](https://powerpipe.io/docs/reference/cli/benchmark#output-formats).



### Common and Tag Dimensions



The benchmark queries use common properties (like `path` and `connection_name`) and tags that are defined in the form of a default list of strings in the `variables.sp` file. These properties can be overwritten in several ways:



It's easiest to setup your vars file, starting with the sample:



```sh

cp powerpipe.ppvars.example powerpipe.ppvars

vi powerpipe.ppvars

```



Alternatively you can pass variables on the command line:



```sh

powerpipe benchmark run terraform_gcp_compliance.benchmark.bigquery --var 'tag_dimensions=["Environment", "Owner"]'

```



Or through environment variables:



```sh

export PP_VAR_common_dimensions='["path", "connection_name"]'

export PP_VAR_tag_dimensions='["Environment", "Owner"]'

powerpipe benchmark run terraform_gcp_compliance.benchmark.bigquery

```
