aws-prevention v5.4.0 - Prevention objectives for AWS Bedrock enforced guardrail configuration
May 27, 2026•GuardrailsMods
What's new?
- Added the awsBedrockEnforcedGuardrailConfiguration prevention type and six new prevention objectives that score AWS Bedrock enforced guardrail configurations on content filters, sensitive-information protection, topic policy, contextual grounding, selective content guarding scope, and model enforcement coverage, mapped to NIST 800-53 SI-10 (Information Input Validation). The existing Enforce mandatory Bedrock Guardrail on AWS Bedrock invocations objective was also extended to recognize the enforced guardrail configuration as a valid enforcement mechanism alongside SCPs.
- Added a new prevention objective Safeguard AWS Bedrock enforced guardrail configuration from modification that detects SCPs denying bedrock:PutEnforcedGuardrailConfiguration and bedrock:DeleteEnforcedGuardrailConfiguration. Mapped to NIST 800-53 SI-7 (Software, Firmware, and Information Integrity).
