Continuous Compliance with AWS Config + Security Hub

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

  1. Enable Config in every account; pick the rules that map to your framework.
  2. Aggregate to a delegated admin account.
  3. Enable Security Hub with the standard(s) you care about.
  4. 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
