Generate compliance reports for an annotated cloud-native app

Compliance departments need to be able to review code and compliance reports to ensure that the application is compliant with the company’s policies. The .NET compliance framework provides a way to generate reports that show the compliance status of the application.

What is a compliance report?

A compliance report can be generated at compile time. The .NET compliance framework generates a JSON file that contains details on the data classifications and redaction methods used in the application.

{
    "Name": "DataEntities",
    "Types": [
        {
            "Name": "DataEntities.Order",
            "Members": [
                {
                    "Name": "CustomerAddress",
                    "Type": "string",
                    "File": "C:\\Developer\\mslearn-dotnet-cloudnative\\dotnet-compliance\\eShopLite\\DataEntities\\Order.cs",
                    "Line": "25",
                    "Classifications": [
                        {
                            "Name": "EUIIData"
                        }
                    ]
                },
                {
                    "Name": "CustomerName",
                    "Type": "string",
                    "File": "C:\\Developer\\mslearn-dotnet-cloudnative\\dotnet-compliance\\eShopLite\\DataEntities\\Order.cs",
                    "Line": "21",
                    "Classifications": [
                        {
                            "Name": "EUIIData"
                        }
                    ]
                },
    ...

The report above is an example from the eShopLite.DataEntities project. It shows that the Order class has two properties that are classified as EUIIData.

    "Name": "Store",
    "Types": [
        {
            "Name": "Store.Services.Log",
            "Logging Methods": [
                {
                    "Name": "LogOrders",
                    "Parameters": [
                        {
                            "Name": "logger",
                            "Type": "Microsoft.Extensions.Logging.ILogger",
                            "File": "C:\\Developer\\mslearn-dotnet-cloudnative\\dotnet-compliance\\eShopLite\\Store\\Services\\ProductService.cs",
                            "Line": "103"
                        },
                        {
                            "Name": "order",
                            "Type": "DataEntities.Order",
                            "File": "C:\\Developer\\mslearn-dotnet-cloudnative\\dotnet-compliance\\eShopLite\\Store\\Services\\ProductService.cs",
                            "Line": "103"
                        }
                    ]
                }
            ]
        }
    ]
}

The report above is an example from the eShopLite.Store project. It shows that the LogOrders method in the ProductService class takes an Order object as a parameter for logging.
