Athena workgroups should be encrypted at rest¶

This control checks if an Athena workgroup is encrypted at rest. The control fails if an Athena workgroup isn't encrypted at rest.

How to fix¶

Attribute configuration[0].result_configuration[0].encryption_configuration[0].encryption_option of aws_athena_workgroup must be non-empty.

Implementation options¶

Choose the option that matches how you manage Terraform. All options satisfy this control.

Option 1: Terraform AWS provider resources¶

If you manage resources directly, configure the relevant Terraform AWS provider resources to meet this control. See docs for the resources involved: aws_athena_workgroup.

resource "aws_athena_workgroup" "this" {
  configuration {
    enforce_workgroup_configuration    = true
    publish_cloudwatch_metrics_enabled = true

    result_configuration {
      encryption_configuration {
        encryption_option = "SSE_S3"
      }
    }
  }
  name = "pofix-example-workgroup"
}

Which option should I choose?

Compliance.tf module (recommended): controls enforced by default and mapped to frameworks.
Open source module (terraform-aws-modules): compatible by design with compliance.tf. Same variable names for an easy, low-change migration path when you are ready.
Terraform AWS provider resources: manage Terraform resources directly.
