AWS > DynamoDB > Backup > Active

Take an action when an AWS DynamoDB backup is not active based on the
AWS > DynamoDB > Backup > Active > * policies.

The Active control determines whether the resource is in active use, and if not, has
the ability to delete / cleanup the resource. When running an automated compliance
environment, it's common to end up with a wide range of alarms that are difficult
and time consuming to clear. The Active control brings automated, well-defined
control to this process.

The Active control checks the status of all defined Active policies for the
resource (AWS > DynamoDB > Backup > Active > *),
raises an alarm, and takes the defined enforcement action. Each Active
sub-policy can calculate a status of active, inactive or skipped. Generally,
if the resource appears to be Active for any reason it will be considered Active.

Note the contrast with Approved, where if the resource appears to be Unapproved
for any reason it will be considered Unapproved.

See Active for more information.

AWS > DynamoDB > Backup > Approved

Take an action when an AWS DynamoDB backup is not approved based on AWS > DynamoDB > Backup > Approved > * policies.

The Approved control checks the status of the defined Approved sub-policies for the resource. If the resource is not approved according to any of these policies, this control raises an alarm and takes the defined enforcement action.

For any enforcement actions that specify if new, e.g., Enforce: Delete unapproved if new, this control will only take the enforcement actions for resources created within the last 60 minutes.

See Approved for more information.

AWS > DynamoDB > Backup > CMDB

Record and synchronize details for the AWS DynamoDB backup into the CMDB.

The CMDB control is responsible for populating and updating all the attributes for that resource type in the Guardrails CMDB.

If set to Skip then all changes to the CMDB are paused - no new resources will be discovered, no updates will be made and deleted resources will not be removed.

To cleanup resources and stop tracking changes, set this policy to "Enforce: Disabled".

CMDB controls also use the Regions policy associated with the resource. If region is not in AWS > DynamoDB > Backup > Regions policy, the CMDB control will delete the resource from the CMDB. (Note: Setting CMDB to Skip will also pause these changes.)

AWS > DynamoDB > Backup > Discovery

Discover all AWS DynamoDB backup resources and add them to the CMDB.

The Discovery control is responsible for finding resources of a specific type. It periodically searches for new resources and saves them to the CMDB. Once discovered, resources are then responsible for tracking changes to themselves through the CMDB control.

Note that Discovery and CMDB controls also use the Regions policy associated with the resource. If the region is not in AWS > DynamoDB > Backup > Regions policy, the CMDB control will delete the resource from the CMDB.

AWS > DynamoDB > Backup > Usage

The Usage control determines whether the number of AWS DynamoDB backup resources exceeds the configured usage limit for this region.

You can configure the behavior of this control with the AWS > DynamoDB > Backup > Usage policy, and set the limit with the AWS > DynamoDB > Backup > Usage > Limit policy.

AWS > DynamoDB > Global Table > Active

Take an action when an AWS DynamoDB global table is not active based on the
AWS > DynamoDB > Global Table > Active > * policies.

The Active control determines whether the resource is in active use, and if not, has
the ability to delete / cleanup the resource. When running an automated compliance
environment, it's common to end up with a wide range of alarms that are difficult
and time consuming to clear. The Active control brings automated, well-defined
control to this process.

The Active control checks the status of all defined Active policies for the
resource (AWS > DynamoDB > Global Table > Active > *),
raises an alarm, and takes the defined enforcement action. Each Active
sub-policy can calculate a status of active, inactive or skipped. Generally,
if the resource appears to be Active for any reason it will be considered Active.

Note the contrast with Approved, where if the resource appears to be Unapproved
for any reason it will be considered Unapproved.

See Active for more information.

AWS > DynamoDB > Global Table > Approved

Take an action when an AWS DynamoDB global table is not approved based on AWS > DynamoDB > Global Table > Approved > * policies.

The Approved control checks the status of the defined Approved sub-policies for the resource. If the resource is not approved according to any of these policies, this control raises an alarm and takes the defined enforcement action.

For any enforcement actions that specify if new, e.g., Enforce: Delete unapproved if new, this control will only take the enforcement actions for resources created within the last 60 minutes.

See Approved for more information.

AWS > DynamoDB > Global Table > CMDB

Record and synchronize details for the AWS DynamoDB global table into the CMDB.

The CMDB control is responsible for populating and updating all the attributes for that resource type in the Guardrails CMDB.

If set to Skip then all changes to the CMDB are paused - no new resources will be discovered, no updates will be made and deleted resources will not be removed.

To cleanup resources and stop tracking changes, set this policy to "Enforce: Disabled".

AWS > DynamoDB > Global Table > Configured

Maintain AWS > DynamoDB > Global Table configuration

Note: If the resource is managed by another stack, then the Skip/Check/Enforce values here are ignored
and inherit from the stack that owns it

AWS > DynamoDB > Global Table > Discovery

Discover all AWS DynamoDB global table resources and add them to the CMDB.

The Discovery control is responsible for finding resources of a specific type. It periodically searches for new resources and saves them to the CMDB. Once discovered, resources are then responsible for tracking changes to themselves through the CMDB control.

AWS > DynamoDB > Global Table > Usage

The Usage control determines whether the number of AWS DynamoDB global table resources exceeds the configured usage limit for this account.

You can configure the behavior of this control with the AWS > DynamoDB > Global Table > Usage policy, and set the limit with the AWS > DynamoDB > Global Table > Usage > Limit policy.

AWS > DynamoDB > Table > Active

Take an action when an AWS DynamoDB table is not active based on the
AWS > DynamoDB > Table > Active > * policies.

The Active control determines whether the resource is in active use, and if not, has

AWS > DynamoDB > Table > Approved

Take an action when an AWS DynamoDB table is not approved based on AWS > DynamoDB > Table > Approved > * policies.

The Approved control checks the status of the defined Approved sub-policies for the resource. If the resource is not approved according to any of these policies, this control raises an alarm and takes the defined enforcement action.

For any enforcement actions that specify if new, e.g., Enforce: Delete unapproved if new, this control will only take the enforcement actions for resources created within the last 60 minutes.

Note that Discovery and CMDB controls also use the Regions policy associated with the resource. If the region is not in AWS > DynamoDB > Table > Regions policy, the CMDB control will delete the resource from the CMDB.

AWS > DynamoDB > Table > Encryption at Rest

Define the Encryption at Rest settings required for AWS > DynamoDB > Table.

Encryption at Rest refers specifically to the encryption of data when written
to an underlying storage system. This control determines whether the resource
is encrypted at rest, and sets encryption to your desired level.

The Encryption at Rest
control compares the encryption settings against the encryption policies for the resource
(AWS > DynamoDB > Table > Encryption at Rest > *),
raises an alarm, and takes the defined enforcement action.

AWS > DynamoDB > Table > Point-in-Time Recovery

Checking if the AWS DynamoDB table has Point-in-Time Recovery configured correctly.

AWS > DynamoDB > Table > Tags

Take an action when an AWS DynamoDB table tags is not updated based on the AWS > DynamoDB > Table > Tags > * policies.

If the resource is not updated with the tags defined in AWS > DynamoDB > Table > Tags > Template, this control raises an alarm and takes the defined enforcement action.

See Tags for more information.

AWS > DynamoDB > Table > Usage

The Usage control determines whether the number of AWS DynamoDB table resources exceeds the configured usage limit for this region.

You can configure the behavior of this control with the AWS > DynamoDB > Table > Usage policy, and set the limit with the AWS > DynamoDB > Table > Usage > Limit policy.
