SageMaker models should have network isolation enabled

SageMaker models are internet-enabled by default. Network isolation should be enabled to avoid external network access to your inference containers.

How to fix

Attribute enable_network_isolation of aws_sagemaker_model 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_sagemaker_model.

resource "aws_sagemaker_model" "this" {
  execution_role_arn = "arn:aws:iam::123456789012:role/example-role"

  vpc_config {
    security_group_ids = ["sg-abc12345", "sg-def67890"]
    subnets            = ["subnet-abc123", "subnet-def456"]
  }

  enable_network_isolation = true
}
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.
