[AWS Artifact] Document AWS Reg S-P compensating controls #8

Description

@JFWooten4

AWS’s public DPA states that AWS will notify customers of a Security Incident “without undue delay.” Reg S-P § 248.30(a)(5)(i)(B), however, requires covered institutions’ service-provider oversight procedures to be reasonably designed to ensure service-provider notice as soon as possible, but no later than 72 hours after the service provider becomes aware of a covered breach.

Because AWS’s standard public language may not include a hard 72-hour cap, document compensating controls in the AWS vendor-risk file.

Warning

Still must conform; I'll see what I can do. 1st of many cloudlog setups downto CRONs in JFWooten4/agenda#18

Idea:

Tasks

  • Save current AWS Customer Agreement, Service Terms, DPA, and AWS Artifact reports.
  • Request AWS written confirmation or addendum for Reg S-P 72-hour incident notice.
  • Save AWS’s response.
  • Confirm AWS account root/admin/security contacts are current.
  • Configure AWS security notices to reach a monitored inbox.
  • Confirm MFA and least-privilege access for all AWS users.
  • Confirm CloudTrail, GuardDuty, Security Hub, AWS Config, and CloudWatch alerts are enabled where applicable.
  • Document customer-information minimization, encryption, and segmentation controls.
  • Add AWS to annual critical-vendor review.
  • Add AWS incident-notice intake to the incident-response procedure.

Acceptance criteria

  • Vendor file explains the contract gap.
  • Vendor file includes AWS terms and AWS response.
  • Compensating controls are documented and assigned.
  • Incident-response plan explains what BlockTransfer does immediately upon AWS notice or internal AWS-related detection.
