renovosolutions.aws-cdk-aspects-encryption-enforcement 0.0.0

A library of CDK aspects that enforce encryption on AWS resources.

cdk-aspects-library-encryption-enforcement

A CDK Aspects library that enforces encryption on AWS resources to help maintain security best practices in your infrastructure as code.

This library provides CDK Aspects that can be applied to your stacks to ensure that resources are properly encrypted. Currently, the library supports enforcing encryption on:

• Amazon EFS File Systems
• Amazon RDS Databases (both instances and clusters)

The aspects will add error annotations to any resources that don't have encryption enabled, preventing deployment unless encryption is properly configured or the resources are explicitly excluded.

Features

• Enforces encryption on EFS File Systems
• Enforces encryption on RDS Database Instances and Clusters
• Allows excluding specific resources from enforcement by ID
• Works with both L1 (CfnResource) and L2 (higher-level) constructs
• Provides individual aspects for each resource family
• Offers a convenience method to add all aspects at once
• Prevents deployment of non-compliant resources unless explicitly excluded

Usage

The library provides two main aspects:

1. EFSEncryptionEnforcementAspect - Enforces encryption on EFS File Systems
2. RDSEncryptionEnforcementAspect - Enforces encryption on RDS Database Instances and Clusters

You can apply these aspects individually or use the EncryptionEnforcement.addAllAspects() convenience method to add all aspects at once.

    // Create an EFS FileSystem with encryption enabled (compliant)
    new efs.FileSystem(this, 'EncryptedFileSystem', {
      vpc,
      encrypted: true, // This is compliant
    });

    // Create an EFS FileSystem without encryption (non-compliant)
    // This will cause a deployment error unless excluded
    new efs.FileSystem(this, 'UnencryptedFileSystem', {
      vpc,
      encrypted: false, // This will be caught by the aspect
    });

    // Create an RDS instance with encryption enabled (compliant)

Excluding Resources

If you have specific resources that should be exempt from encryption enforcement, you can exclude them by ID:

// Exclude specific resources
Aspects.of(stack).add(new EFSEncryptionEnforcementAspect({
  excludeResources: ['MyFileSystem', 'MyOtherFileSystem'],
}));

// Or exclude resources from all aspects at once
EncryptionEnforcement.addAllAspects(stack, {
  excludeResources: ['MyFileSystem', 'MyDatabaseInstance'],
});

The excludeResources property accepts an array of resource IDs. You can use either the L1 (CfnResource) ID or the L2 (higher-level construct) ID.
