Manage Custom AWS Config Rules with Remediation Using AWS Config Conformance Pack

This article explains how to manage custom AWS Config rules with remediation across an AWS Organization using Conformance Packs. The solution provides a centralized compliance framework for monitoring and automatically fixing security misconfigurations.

• Uses AWS Config custom rules with automated remediation
• Leverages Conformance Packs for organization-wide deployment
• Utilizes Lambda functions for rule evaluation
• Employs AWS Systems Manager for remediation actions
• Focuses on identifying and fixing non-compliant security group configurations

The key implementation involves creating cross-account roles, configuring Lambda permissions, sharing Systems Manager Automation documents, and deploying a Conformance Pack across member accounts. The solution automatically detects security groups with overly broad inbound rules and removes them, maintaining security compliance across the organization.
