AWS Config resources required to generate control findings

AWS Security Hub generates control findings by performing security checks against Security Hub controls. Some controls use AWS Config rules that evaluate compliance with specific resources. For Security Hub to generate findings for controls that have a change triggered schedule type, you must turn on recording for required resources in AWS Config. You don't need to record resources for most controls that have a periodic schedule type. However, some periodic controls require resource recording to detect changes in compliance.

This page provides a list of required resources across standards and a list of required resources divided by standard. The first table also lists which Security Hub controls use each resource.

If a finding is generated by a security check that is based on an AWS Config rule, the finding details include a Rules link to the associated AWS Config rule. To navigate to the AWS Config rule, your account must have IAM permissions to view AWS Config rules.

Note

In AWS Regions where a control isn't available, the corresponding resource isn't available in AWS Config. For a list of Regional limits on Security Hub controls, see Availability of controls by Region.

AWS Config resources required for all controls

For Security Hub to generate findings for enabled Security Hub change triggered controls that use a AWS Config rule, you must record these resources in AWS Config. This table also indicates which controls require a particular resource. A control may require more than one resource.
