05 - Cloudtrail is Encryped

Ensure CloudTrail is Encrypted at Rest

AWS CloudTrail is a service that enables governance, compliance, operational auditing, and risk auditing of your AWS account. With CloudTrail, you can log, continuously monitor, and retain account activity related to actions across your AWS infrastructure. CloudTrail provides event history of your AWS account activity, including actions taken through the AWS Management Console, AWS SDKs, command line tools, and other AWS services. Since this holds all audit logs, it is important that the S3 bucket that stores the data is fully secured. This is why CloudTrail being encrypted at rest is a security best practice. Having a full inventory of your CloudTrails with current logging status across all of your accounts can help with CIS, NIST, GDPR & PCI-DSS compliance.

Audit & Remediation

Login into your AWS account
Navigate to the CloudTrail service at: https://https://console.aws.amazon.com/cloudtrail
In the Left hand panel select Trails.

Select your CloudTrail. If Log file SSE-KMS encryption is set to Disabled, then encryption is not enabled.

Select the Edit button
Select Log file SSE-KMS encryption and create a new AWS KMS Key and specify the new AWS KMS Alias and save changes.

Continue this process for all of your AWS accounts to ensure you are compliant.
