# Auditing Terraform Infrastructure for Security
## When to Use
- When integrating security scanning into CI/CD pipelines for Terraform deployments
- When reviewing Terraform plans and modules for security best practices before applying
- When building policy-as-code guardrails for cloud infrastructure provisioning
- When auditing existing Terraform state files to identify deployed misconfigurations
- When enforcing organizational security standards across multiple Terraform projects
**Do not use** for runtime security monitoring (use CSPM tools), for application security testing (use SAST/DAST tools), or for cloud configuration drift detection (use AWS Config or Azure Policy after deployment).
