AWS Audit Manager

2024/06/07 - AWS Audit Manager - 7 updated api methods

Changes  New feature: common controls. When creating custom controls, you can now use pre-grouped AWS data sources based on common compliance themes. Also, the awsServices parameter is deprecated because we now manage services in scope for you. If used, the input is ignored and an empty list is returned.

                  • sourceType (string) --

                    Specifies which type of data source is used to collect evidence.

                    • The source can be an individual data source type, such as AWS_Cloudtrail, AWS_Config, AWS_Security_Hub, AWS_API_Call, or MANUAL.

                    • The source can also be a managed grouping of data sources, such as a Core_Control or a Common_Control.

                  • sourceKeyword (dict) --

                    A keyword that relates to the control data source.

                    For manual evidence, this keyword indicates if the manual evidence is a file or text.

                    For automated evidence, this keyword identifies a specific CloudTrail event, Config rule, Security Hub control, or Amazon Web Services API name.

                    To learn more about the supported keywords that you can use when mapping a control data source, see the following pages in the Audit Manager User Guide:

                    • keywordInputType (string) --

                      The input method for the keyword.

                      • SELECT_FROM_LIST is used when mapping a data source for automated evidence.

                        • When keywordInputType is SELECT_FROM_LIST, a keyword must be selected to collect automated evidence. For example, this keyword can be a CloudTrail event name, a rule name for Config, a Security Hub control, or the name of an Amazon Web Services API call.

                      • UPLOAD_FILE and INPUT_TEXT are only used when mapping a data source for manual evidence.

                        • When keywordInputType is UPLOAD_FILE, a file must be uploaded as manual evidence.

                        • When keywordInputType is INPUT_TEXT, text must be entered as manual evidence.

                    • keywordValue (string) --

                      The value of the keyword that's used when mapping a control data source. For example, this can be a CloudTrail event name, a rule name for Config, a Security Hub control, or the name of an Amazon Web Services API call.

                      If you’re mapping a data source to a rule in Config, the keywordValue that you specify depends on the type of rule:

                      • For managed rules, you can use the rule identifier as the keywordValue. You can find the rule identifier from the list of Config managed rules. For some rules, the rule identifier is different from the rule name. For example, the rule name restricted-ssh has the following rule identifier: INCOMING_SSH_DISABLED. Make sure to use the rule identifier, not the rule name. Keyword example for managed rules:

                      • For custom rules, you form the keywordValue by adding the Custom_ prefix to the rule name. This prefix distinguishes the custom rule from a managed rule. Keyword example for custom rules:

                        • Custom rule name: my-custom-config-rule keywordValue: Custom_my-custom-config-rule

                      • For service-linked rules, you form the keywordValue by adding the Custom_ prefix to the rule name. In addition, you remove the suffix ID that appears at the end of the rule name. Keyword examples for service-linked rules:

                        • Service-linked rule name: CustomRuleForAccount-conformance-pack-szsm1uv0w keywordValue: Custom_CustomRuleForAccount-conformance-pack

                        • Service-linked rule name: OrgConfigRule-s3-bucket-versioning-enabled-dbgzf8ba keywordValue: Custom_OrgConfigRule-s3-bucket-versioning-enabled

                  • sourceFrequency (string) --

                    Specifies how often evidence is collected from the control mapping source.

                  • troubleshootingText (string) --

                    The instructions for troubleshooting the control.

              • createdAt (datetime) --

                The time when the control was created.

              • lastUpdatedAt (datetime) --

                The time when the control was most recently updated.

              • createdBy (string) --

                The user or role that created the control.

              • lastUpdatedBy (string) --

                The user or role that most recently updated the control.

              • tags (dict) --

                The tags associated with the control.

                • (string) --

                  • (string) --

              • state (string) --

                The state of the control. The END_OF_SUPPORT state is applicable to standard controls only. This state indicates that the standard control can still be used to collect evidence, but Audit Manager is no longer updating or maintaining that control.

      • createdAt (datetime) --

        The time when the framework was created.

      • lastUpdatedAt (datetime) --

        The time when the framework was most recently updated.

      • createdBy (string) --

        The user or role that created the framework.

      • lastUpdatedBy (string) --

        The user or role that most recently updated the framework.

    • control (dict) --

      The new control that the CreateControl API returned.

      • arn (string) --

        The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the control.

      • id (string) --

        The unique identifier for the control.

      • type (string) --

        Specifies whether the control is a standard control or a custom control.

        The title of the action plan for remediating the control.

      • actionPlanInstructions (string) --

        The recommended actions to carry out if the control isn't fulfilled.

      • controlSources (string) --

        The data source types that determine where Audit Manager collects evidence from for the control.

      • controlMappingSources (list) --

        The data mapping sources for the control.

        • (dict) --

          The data source that determines where Audit Manager collects evidence from for the control.

          • sourceId (string) --

            The unique identifier for the source.

          • sourceName (string) --

            The name of the source.

          • sourceDescription (string) --

            The description of the source.

          • sourceSetUpOption (string) --

            The setup option for the data source. This option reflects if the evidence collection method is automated or manual. If you don’t provide a value for sourceSetUpOption, Audit Manager automatically infers and populates the correct value based on the sourceType that you specify.

          • sourceType (string) --

            Specifies which type of data source is used to collect evidence.

            • The source can be an individual data source type, such as AWS_Cloudtrail, AWS_Config, AWS_Security_Hub, AWS_API_Call, or MANUAL.

            • The source can also be a managed grouping of data sources, such as a Core_Control or a Common_Control.

          • sourceKeyword (dict) --

            A keyword that relates to the control data source.

            For manual evidence, this keyword indicates if the manual evidence is a file or text.

            For automated evidence, this keyword identifies a specific CloudTrail event, Config rule, Security Hub control, or Amazon Web Services API name.

            To learn more about the supported keywords that you can use when mapping a control data source, see the following pages in the Audit Manager User Guide:

            • keywordInputType (string) --

              The input method for the keyword.

              • SELECT_FROM_LIST is used when mapping a data source for automated evidence.

                • When keywordInputType is SELECT_FROM_LIST, a keyword must be selected to collect automated evidence. For example, this keyword can be a CloudTrail event name, a rule name for Config, a Security Hub control, or the name of an Amazon Web Services API call.

              • UPLOAD_FILE and INPUT_TEXT are only used when mapping a data source for manual evidence.

                • When keywordInputType is UPLOAD_FILE, a file must be uploaded as manual evidence.

                • When keywordInputType is INPUT_TEXT, text must be entered as manual evidence.

            • keywordValue (string) --

              The value of the keyword that's used when mapping a control data source. For example, this can be a CloudTrail event name, a rule name for Config, a Security Hub control, or the name of an Amazon Web Services API call.

              If you’re mapping a data source to a rule in Config, the keywordValue that you specify depends on the type of rule:

              • For managed rules, you can use the rule identifier as the keywordValue. You can find the rule identifier from the list of Config managed rules. For some rules, the rule identifier is different from the rule name. For example, the rule name restricted-ssh has the following rule identifier: INCOMING_SSH_DISABLED. Make sure to use the rule identifier, not the rule name. Keyword example for managed rules:

              • For custom rules, you form the keywordValue by adding the Custom_ prefix to the rule name. This prefix distinguishes the custom rule from a managed rule. Keyword example for custom rules:

                • Custom rule name: my-custom-config-rule keywordValue: Custom_my-custom-config-rule

              • For service-linked rules, you form the keywordValue by adding the Custom_ prefix to the rule name. In addition, you remove the suffix ID that appears at the end of the rule name. Keyword examples for service-linked rules:

                • Service-linked rule name: CustomRuleForAccount-conformance-pack-szsm1uv0w keywordValue: Custom_CustomRuleForAccount-conformance-pack

                • Service-linked rule name: OrgConfigRule-s3-bucket-versioning-enabled-dbgzf8ba keywordValue: Custom_OrgConfigRule-s3-bucket-versioning-enabled

          • sourceFrequency (string) --

            Specifies how often evidence is collected from the control mapping source.

          • troubleshootingText (string) --

            The instructions for troubleshooting the control.

      • createdAt (datetime) --

        The time when the control was created.

      • lastUpdatedAt (datetime) --

        The time when the control was most recently updated.

      • createdBy (string) --

        The user or role that created the control.

      • lastUpdatedBy (string) --

        The user or role that most recently updated the control.

      • tags (dict) --

        The tags associated with the control.

        • (string) --

          • (string) --

      • state (string) --

        The state of the control. The END_OF_SUPPORT state is applicable to standard controls only. This state indicates that the standard control can still be used to collect evidence, but Audit Manager is no longer updating or maintaining that control.

          • sourceSetUpOption (string) --

            The setup option for the data source. This option reflects if the evidence collection method is automated or manual. If you don’t provide a value for sourceSetUpOption, Audit Manager automatically infers and populates the correct value based on the sourceType that you specify.

          • sourceType (string) --

            Specifies which type of data source is used to collect evidence.

            • The source can be an individual data source type, such as AWS_Cloudtrail, AWS_Config, AWS_Security_Hub, AWS_API_Call, or MANUAL.

            • The source can also be a managed grouping of data sources, such as a Core_Control or a Common_Control.

          • sourceKeyword (dict) --

            A keyword that relates to the control data source.

            For manual evidence, this keyword indicates if the manual evidence is a file or text.

            For automated evidence, this keyword identifies a specific CloudTrail event, Config rule, Security Hub control, or Amazon Web Services API name.

            To learn more about the supported keywords that you can use when mapping a control data source, see the following pages in the Audit Manager User Guide:

            • keywordInputType (string) --

              The input method for the keyword.

              • SELECT_FROM_LIST is used when mapping a data source for automated evidence.

                • When keywordInputType is SELECT_FROM_LIST, a keyword must be selected to collect automated evidence. For example, this keyword can be a CloudTrail event name, a rule name for Config, a Security Hub control, or the name of an Amazon Web Services API call.

              • UPLOAD_FILE and INPUT_TEXT are only used when mapping a data source for manual evidence.

                • When keywordInputType is UPLOAD_FILE, a file must be uploaded as manual evidence.

                • When keywordInputType is INPUT_TEXT, text must be entered as manual evidence.

            • keywordValue (string) --

              The value of the keyword that's used when mapping a control data source. For example, this can be a CloudTrail event name, a rule name for Config, a Security Hub control, or the name of an Amazon Web Services API call.

              If you’re mapping a data source to a rule in Config, the keywordValue that you specify depends on the type of rule:

              • For managed rules, you can use the rule identifier as the keywordValue. You can find the rule identifier from the list of Config managed rules. For some rules, the rule identifier is different from the rule name. For example, the rule name restricted-ssh has the following rule identifier: INCOMING_SSH_DISABLED. Make sure to use the rule identifier, not the rule name. Keyword example for managed rules:

              • For custom rules, you form the keywordValue by adding the Custom_ prefix to the rule name. This prefix distinguishes the custom rule from a managed rule. Keyword example for custom rules:

                • Custom rule name: my-custom-config-rule keywordValue: Custom_my-custom-config-rule

              • For service-linked rules, you form the keywordValue by adding the Custom_ prefix to the rule name. In addition, you remove the suffix ID that appears at the end of the rule name. Keyword examples for service-linked rules:

                • Service-linked rule name: CustomRuleForAccount-conformance-pack-szsm1uv0w keywordValue: Custom_CustomRuleForAccount-conformance-pack

                • Service-linked rule name: OrgConfigRule-s3-bucket-versioning-enabled-dbgzf8ba keywordValue: Custom_OrgConfigRule-s3-bucket-versioning-enabled

          • sourceFrequency (string) --

            Specifies how often evidence is collected from the control mapping source.

          • troubleshootingText (string) --

            The instructions for troubleshooting the control.

      • createdAt (datetime) --

        The time when the control was created.

      • lastUpdatedAt (datetime) --

        The time when the control was most recently updated.

      • createdBy (string) --

        The user or role that created the control.

      • lastUpdatedBy (string) --

        The user or role that most recently updated the control.

      • tags (dict) --

        The tags associated with the control.

        • (string) --

          • (string) --

      • state (string) --

        The state of the control. The END_OF_SUPPORT state is applicable to standard controls only. This state indicates that the standard control can still be used to collect evidence, but Audit Manager is no longer updating or maintaining that control.

                        • Custom rule name: my-custom-config-rule keywordValue: Custom_my-custom-config-rule

                      • For service-linked rules, you form the keywordValue by adding the Custom_ prefix to the rule name. In addition, you remove the suffix ID that appears at the end of the rule name. Keyword examples for service-linked rules:

                        • Service-linked rule name: CustomRuleForAccount-conformance-pack-szsm1uv0w keywordValue: Custom_CustomRuleForAccount-conformance-pack

                        • Service-linked rule name: OrgConfigRule-s3-bucket-versioning-enabled-dbgzf8ba keywordValue: Custom_OrgConfigRule-s3-bucket-versioning-enabled

                  • sourceFrequency (string) --

param controlMappingSources:

[REQUIRED]

The data mapping sources for the control.

  • (dict) --

    The data source that determines where Audit Manager collects evidence from for the control.

    • sourceId (string) --

      The unique identifier for the source.

    • sourceName (string) --

      The name of the source.

    • sourceDescription (string) --

      The description of the source.

    • sourceSetUpOption (string) --

      The setup option for the data source. This option reflects if the evidence collection method is automated or manual. If you don’t provide a value for sourceSetUpOption, Audit Manager automatically infers and populates the correct value based on the sourceType that you specify.

    • sourceType (string) --

      Specifies which type of data source is used to collect evidence.

      • The source can be an individual data source type, such as AWS_Cloudtrail, AWS_Config, AWS_Security_Hub, AWS_API_Call, or MANUAL.

      • The source can also be a managed grouping of data sources, such as a Core_Control or a Common_Control.

    • sourceKeyword (dict) --

      A keyword that relates to the control data source.

      For manual evidence, this keyword indicates if the manual evidence is a file or text.

      For automated evidence, this keyword identifies a specific CloudTrail event, Config rule, Security Hub control, or Amazon Web Services API name.

      To learn more about the supported keywords that you can use when mapping a control data source, see the following pages in the Audit Manager User Guide:

      • keywordInputType (string) --

        The input method for the keyword.

        • SELECT_FROM_LIST is used when mapping a data source for automated evidence.

          • When keywordInputType is SELECT_FROM_LIST, a keyword must be selected to collect automated evidence. For example, this keyword can be a CloudTrail event name, a rule name for Config, a Security Hub control, or the name of an Amazon Web Services API call.

        • UPLOAD_FILE and INPUT_TEXT are only used when mapping a data source for manual evidence.

          • When keywordInputType is UPLOAD_FILE, a file must be uploaded as manual evidence.

          • When keywordInputType is INPUT_TEXT, text must be entered as manual evidence.

      • keywordValue (string) --

        The value of the keyword that's used when mapping a control data source. For example, this can be a CloudTrail event name, a rule name for Config, a Security Hub control, or the name of an Amazon Web Services API call.

        If you’re mapping a data source to a rule in Config, the keywordValue that you specify depends on the type of rule:

        • For managed rules, you can use the rule identifier as the keywordValue. You can find the rule identifier from the list of Config managed rules. For some rules, the rule identifier is different from the rule name. For example, the rule name restricted-ssh has the following rule identifier: INCOMING_SSH_DISABLED. Make sure to use the rule identifier, not the rule name. Keyword example for managed rules:

        • For custom rules, you form the keywordValue by adding the Custom_ prefix to the rule name. This prefix distinguishes the custom rule from a managed rule. Keyword example for custom rules:

          • Custom rule name: my-custom-config-rule keywordValue: Custom_my-custom-config-rule

        • For service-linked rules, you form the keywordValue by adding the Custom_ prefix to the rule name. In addition, you remove the suffix ID that appears at the end of the rule name. Keyword examples for service-linked rules:

          • Service-linked rule name: CustomRuleForAccount-conformance-pack-szsm1uv0w keywordValue: Custom_CustomRuleForAccount-conformance-pack

          • Service-linked rule name: OrgConfigRule-s3-bucket-versioning-enabled-dbgzf8ba keywordValue: Custom_OrgConfigRule-s3-bucket-versioning-enabled

    • sourceFrequency (string) --

      Specifies how often evidence is collected from the control mapping source.

    • troubleshootingText (string) --

      The instructions for troubleshooting the control.
