Athena workgroups should enforce configuration¶

This control checks if an Athena workgroup enforces configuration. The control fails if an Athena workgroup doesn't enforce configuration.

How to fix¶

Attribute configuration[0].enforce_workgroup_configuration of aws_athena_workgroup must be true.

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" {
  name = "pofix-example-workgroup"

  configuration {
    enforce_workgroup_configuration    = true
    publish_cloudwatch_metrics_enabled = true

    result_configuration {
      encryption_configuration {
        encryption_option = "SSE_S3"
      }
    }
  }
}

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.
