AWS Audit Manager Sample Framework
AWS Audit Manager provides a prebuilt sample framework to help you get started with your audit preparation.
What is the AWS Audit Manager Sample Framework?
The AWS Audit Manager Sample Framework is a simple framework that you can use to get started in Audit Manager. Some of the other prebuilt frameworks that Audit Manager provides, in comparison, are much larger and contain numerous controls. By using the sample framework instead of these larger frameworks, you can more easily review and explore an example of a framework. The controls in this framework are based around a series of AWS Config rules and AWS API calls.
Using this framework
You can use this framework to help you get started in Audit Manager. You can also customize this framework and its controls to support internal audits with specific requirements.
Using the AWS Audit Manager Sample Framework as a starting point, you can create an Audit Manager assessment and start collecting evidence that’s relevant for your audit. After you create an assessment, Audit Manager starts to assess your AWS resources. It does this based on the controls that are defined in the framework. Next, it collects the relevant evidence and then attaches it to the controls in your assessment.
The framework details are as follows:
| Framework name in AWS Audit Manager | Number of automated controls | Number of manual controls | Number of control sets |
|---|---|---|---|
| Amazon Web Services (AWS) Audit Manager Sample Framework | 5 | 0 | 3 |
