Security Hub controls reference
This controls reference provides a list of available AWS Security Hub controls with links to more information about each control. The overview table displays the controls in alphabetical order by control ID. The table provides the following information for each control:
-
Security control ID – This ID applies across standards and indicates the AWS service and resource that the control relates to. The Security Hub console displays security control IDs, regardless of whether consolidated control findings is turned on or off in your account. However, Security Hub findings reference security control IDs only if consolidated control findings is turned on in your account. If consolidated control findings is turned off in your account, control IDs can vary by standard in your control findings. For a mapping of standard-specific control IDs to security control IDs, see How consolidation impacts control IDs and titles.
If you want to set up automations for security controls, we recommend filtering based on control ID rather than title or description. Whereas Security Hub may occasionally update control titles or descriptions, control IDs stay the same.
Control IDs may skip numbers. These are placeholders for future controls.
-
Applicable standards – Indicates which standards a control applies to. Select a control to see specific requirements from third-party compliance frameworks.
-
Security control title – This title applies across standards. The Security Hub console displays security control titles, regardless of whether consolidated control findings is turned on or off in your account. However, Security Hub findings reference security control titles only if consolidated control findings is turned on in your account. If consolidated control findings is turned off in your account, control titles can vary by standard in your control findings. For a mapping of standard-specific control IDs to security control IDs, see How consolidation impacts control IDs and titles.
-
Severity – The severity of a control identifies its importance from a security standpoint. For information about how Security Hub determines control severity, see Assigning severity to control findings.
-
Schedule type – Indicates when the control is evaluated. For more information, see Schedule for running security checks.
-
Supports custom parameters – Indicates whether the control supports custom values for one or more parameters. Select a control to see the parameter details. For more information, see Custom control parameters.
Select a control to view further details. Controls are listed in alphabetical order of the service name.
