Manual control checks don’t scale. AWS gives you Config and Security Hub to monitor controls continuously.
Why These Two
- AWS Config tracks configuration state and rule compliance.
- Security Hub aggregates findings across standards (CIS, PCI, etc.).
Minimal Viable Setup
- Enable Config in every account; pick the rules that map to your framework.
- Aggregate to a delegated admin account.
- Enable Security Hub with the standard(s) you care about.
- Route notifications for High/CRITICAL findings.
What to Capture for Audits
- Screenshots of compliant/non‑compliant resources
- Security Hub findings summary
- Remediation tickets referencing rule IDs
