🧑‍💼 Google Workspace — 20 new checks to complete CIS 1.3

20 new checks built on the Cloud Identity Policy API:

• Rules service — 8 checks
• Security service — 12 checks

With these checks, Prowler's automated coverage of the CIS Google Workspace Benchmark 1.3 is now complete.

Read more in our Google Workspace documentation.

Explore all checks at Prowler Hub.

🔑 Okta — Application Service

A new application service for Okta with 6 checks covering admin console and dashboard hardening:

• application_admin_console_session_idle_timeout_15min
• application_admin_console_mfa_required
• application_admin_console_phishing_resistant_authentication
• application_dashboard_mfa_required
• application_dashboard_phishing_resistant_authentication
• application_authentication_policy_network_zone_enforced

Read more in our Okta documentation.

Explore all checks at Prowler Hub.

🚀 API - Performance

• Scan ingestion is significantly lighter on the database. The scan hot loop now bulk-resolves Resource/ResourceTag rows, replaces per-mapping SELECT FOR UPDATE with deferred conflict-tolerant bulk inserts, wraps each micro-batch in a single transaction, and raises the batch size to 1000.
• Faster finding-groups/latest aggregation on tenants where one recent scan holds most findings.

🏢 New Provider: StackIT

Prowler now supports StackIT, the German sovereign cloud. Authentication uses a service account key, either as a file path (--stackit-service-account-key-path / STACKIT_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_KEY_PATH) or inline JSON (--stackit-service-account-key / STACKIT_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_KEY).

[!NOTE]
StackIT is not officially supported. For more information, contact us.

Thanks to @johannes-engler-mw for their 1st provider in Prowler!

📋 Scan Jobs — Redesigned View

The Scan Jobs view in the UI is fully restyled around dedicated tabs, each with columns tailored to its context:

• In Progress — running and queued scans, auto-refreshing while jobs execute.
• Completed — finished scans with quick access to their findings.
• Scheduled — upcoming scans with their schedule.

Launching a scan now happens through a dedicated modal where you pick connected cloud accounts and add optional scan notes.

🌑 Dark Mode — Redesigned

Dark mode has been reworked for clarity and contrast:

• Pure-black canvas and pure-white primary text for maximum legibility.
• Brighter border and input tokens so cards, tables, and inputs separate cleanly instead of blending into the background.

📚 Compliance - AWS AI Security Framework

A new AWS AI Security Framework mapping Prowler checks to AI/ML security guidance.

Read more in our compliance documentation.

🔍 New Checks

Azure

• storage_account_public_network_access_disabled — flags storage accounts that allow public network access

🔐 Security Updates

UI

• pnpm upgraded to 11 with supply-chain defaults consolidated in pnpm-workspace.yaml and trustPolicyExclude entries pinned to exact versions.
• uuid pinned to 11.1.1 via pnpm-workspace.yaml#overrides to clear GHSA-w5hq-g745-h8pq (missing bounds check in v3/v5/v6 name-based generators with buf) in the transitive tree.

UI

🚀 Added

• Restyle Scan Jobs view with specific In Progress, Completed, Scheduled tabs (#11258)

🔄 Changed

• Dark mode: pure-black canvas, pure-white primary text, and brighter border / input tokens for clearer separation between cards, tables, and inputs (#11073)
• CI workflows (ui-tests.yml, ui-e2e-tests-v2.yml) now read the Node version from ui/.nvmrc and the pnpm version from package.json#packageManager instead of hardcoded values (#11225)

🐞 Fixed

• Compliance page now loads the most recent scan when opened from the sidebar instead of showing the "no compliance data available" alert (#11374)
• Invitation links now show specific expired, no-longer-valid, and invalid-token messages based on API error responses (#11376)

🔐 Security

• pnpm upgraded to 11 with supply-chain defaults consolidated in pnpm-workspace.yaml and trustPolicyExclude entries pinned to exact versions (#11225)
• uuid pinned to 11.1.1 via pnpm-workspace.yaml#overrides to clear GHSA-w5hq-g745-h8pq (missing bounds check in v3/v5/v6 name-based generators with buf) in the transitive tree (#11225)

API

🔄 Changed

• Scan finding ingestion: bulk-resolve Resource/ResourceTag rows, replace per-mapping SELECT FOR UPDATE with deferred ResourceTagMapping.bulk_create(ignore_conflicts=True), wrap each micro-batch in a single rls_transaction, and raise SCAN_DB_BATCH_SIZE to 1000 (#11249)
• Faster GET /api/v1/finding-groups/latest aggregation on tenants where one recent scan holds most findings (#11380)

SDK

🚀 Added

• application service for Okta provider with application_admin_console_session_idle_timeout_15min, application_admin_console_mfa_required, application_admin_console_phishing_resistant_authentication, application_dashboard_mfa_required, application_dashboard_phishing_resistant_authentication, and application_authentication_policy_network_zone_enforced checks (#11358)
• AWS AI Security Framework compliance for AWS provider (#11353)
• storage_account_public_network_access_disabled check for Azure provider and remapped the Azure CIS "Public Network Access is Disabled" requirements to it (#11334)
• StackIT provider now authenticates with a service account key, either as a file path (--stackit-service-account-key-path / STACKIT_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_KEY_PATH) or as inline JSON content (--stackit-service-account-key / STACKIT_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_KEY, intended for CI/CD with a secret manager); the StackIT SDK refreshes access tokens internally, replacing the short-lived STACKIT_API_TOKEN flow (#9237)
• 8 Rules service checks for Google Workspace provider using the Cloud Identity Policy API (#11379)
• 12 Security service checks for Google Workspace provider using the Cloud Identity Policy API (#11356)

⚠️ Deprecated

🐞 Fixed

• ENS RD 311/2022 (AWS) compliance mapping: vpc_different_regions was uncorrectly mapped under the mp.com.4 family (Network segregation). That check is now mapped to a new op.cont.2.aws.vpc.1 requirement under the Continuity of Service control (#11372)
• Compliance CSV row count now matches the UI per requirement by sourcing rows from the framework JSON's requirement.Checks instead of the stale finding.compliance snapshot (#11370)
• OpenStack provider exception codes moved from the 10000-10999 range, shared with the AlibabaCloud provider, to the free 17000-17999 range to keep error codes unambiguous (#11382)
• Azure provider now supports authentication against sovereign clouds (AzureChinaCloud, AzureUSGovernment) (#10284)
