Which steps should the security engineer take to meet these requirements?
Add full Amazon Inspector IAM permissions to the Security Hub service role to allow it to perform the CIS compliance evaluation.
Ensure that AWS Trusted Advisor is enabled in the account, and that the Security Hub service role has permissions to retrieve the Trusted Advisor security- related recommended actions.
Ensure that AWS Config is enabled in the account, and that the required AWS Config rules have been created for the CIS compliance evaluation.
Ensure that the correct trail in AWS CloudTrail has been configured for monitoring by Security Hub, and that the Security Hub service role has permissions to perform the GetObject operation on CloudTrail’s Amazon S3 bucket.
Explanations:
AWS Security Hub does not require Amazon Inspector permissions for evaluating the CIS AWS Foundations compliance standard. Security Hub primarily relies on AWS Config rules and does not evaluate compliance through Inspector.
While AWS Trusted Advisor provides security-related recommendations, it is not directly used by Security Hub to evaluate compliance against the CIS standards. Security Hub evaluates compliance based on AWS Config rules, not Trusted Advisor checks.
AWS Config must be enabled in the account, and the required AWS Config rules for CIS AWS Foundations compliance must be created. Security Hub uses these rules to evaluate the compliance status of AWS resources.
AWS CloudTrail is used for logging API activity but does not play a role in Security Hub’s compliance evaluation. Security Hub does not require CloudTrail configurations or permissions related to S3 objects for the CIS evaluation.
If memory serves me right, the answer is:
Ensure that AWS Config is enabled in the account, and that the required AWS Config rules have been created for the CIS compliance evaluation.
