log_ensure_cloudtrail_encrypted

AWS CloudTrails Without Encrypted Logs

What It Does

This policy template reports any CloudTrail trails that do not have their logs encrypted at test. Optionally, it emails this report.

CloudTrail logs can be configured to leverage server side encryption (SSE) and KMS customer created master keys (CMK) for additional security and this is recommended.

Input Parameters

• Email Addresses - Email addresses of the recipients you wish to notify.
• Account Number - The Account number for use with the AWS STS Cross Account Role. Leave blank when using AWS IAM Access key and secret. It only needs to be passed when the desired AWS account is different than the one associated with the Flexera One credential. More information is available in our documentation.

Policy Actions
