Automated Cloud Security Documentation Generation Workflow

This n8n workflow automates the process of generating a comprehensive, auditable security baseline document for cloud providers and technologies through a series of integrated steps. It starts with an HTTP POST webhook to trigger the process, where it validates incoming data including cloud provider, technology, and relevant URLs. The workflow then generates a unique identifier (UUID) and resolves credentials and folder IDs in Google Drive. It fetches URLs, sanitizes HTML content, and uses AI-powered nodes (via OpenAI) to analyze and extract security controls, control descriptions, and baseline requirements. The data is then processed to check for the presence of critical control blocks. If controls are missing, it responds with guidance for proper input. Otherwise, it consolidates, appends, or creates text files in Google Drive containing the security controls. The workflow finally returns a downloadable text file, making it ideal for organizations aiming to maintain detailed, up-to-date security documentation in an automated, auditable manner. It is particularly useful in compliance scenarios where continuous documentation of security controls is required, especially for cloud services and infrastructure.
