Controls Enforced

The following compliance controls are enforced by this module at terraform plan time.

See the Get Started guide to get started and read the Features section for more details on how to customize the module for your requirements.

Migration from Upstream

Already using terraform-aws-modules? Change only the source URL:

module "network_firewall" {
  source  = "terraform-aws-modules/network-firewall/aws"
  version = "1.0"
}

module "network_firewall" {
  source  = "soc2.compliance.tf/terraform-aws-modules/network-firewall/aws"
  version = "1.0"
}

Same arguments. Same outputs. Compliance controls are enforced automatically at terraform plan. If a required value is missing, you get a clear validation error telling you what to set.

See the Migration Guide for step-by-step instructions.

Reversibility

No lock-in. Switch back by reverting the source URL to the upstream path:

module "network_firewall" {
  source  = "terraform-aws-modules/network-firewall/aws"
}

Run terraform init -upgrade. Terraform state is unchanged — same resource addresses, same provider, no compliance.tf-specific resources. Controls you already applied remain in AWS.
