01 - Redshift Cluster Encrypted

Ensure your Redshift clusters are encrypted at rest

Ensure that your redshift clusters are encrypted at rest as this is considered a security best practice and should always be done. Ensuring this is enabled will help with NIST, HIPPA, GDPR and PCI-DSS compliance.

Audit & Remediation

Login into your AWS account
Navigate to the Redshift service at: https://console.aws.amazon.com/redshiftv2
On the left hand panel select Clusters.

Select the Cluster hyperlink for the database cluster you would like to check.
Under Properties scroll down to Database configurations and look under Encryption to see if this is set to Disabled.
If Encryption is currently set to Disabled then select the Edit button in the top right hand portion of the the Database configurations section.

Under Database configurations select Use AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS).

At the bottom of this screen press the Modify cluster button.
Repeat the outlined steps for each redshift cluster that you have.
