Playbooks
This solution includes the playbook remediations for the security standards defined as part of the Center for Internet Security (CIS) AWS Foundations Benchmark v1.2.0, CIS AWS Foundations Benchmark v1.4.0, AWS Foundational Security Best Practices (FSBP) v.1.0.0, Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS) v3.2.1, and National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
If you have consolidated control findings enabled, then those controls are supported in all standards. If this feature is enabled, then only the SC playbook needs to be deployed. If not, then the playbooks are supported for the previously listed standards.
Important
Only deploy the playbooks for the enabled standards to avoid reaching service quotas.
For details on a specific remediation, refer to the Systems Manager automation document
with the name deployed by the solution in your account. Go to the AWS Systems Manager console
